It was never going to be a smooth process of departure. Everything was organised Wednesday night: I was leaving with Tim at 6pm Friday night. Late Thursday night though, Dave did a change of travel arrangements so I'd be out of Melbourne by 2pm. Of course, 2pm on Friday went by without a ride, and I was switched back to Tim's car, leaving at 6pm. At 8:30pm, we were finally on our way to the snow. With hardly a car to be seen on the alpine road (except for the one that Tim failed to see anyway as we turned the corner!), we pulled into the Falls Creek Oversnow around 1am, very tired, but relieved to have made it and be on holiday, if only for a couple of days.
