Hello Ann, 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.720 Welcome back to the Rising Conker Podcasts. It is your host, 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:03.520 Georgie Stephenson and I'm back feeling refreshed after a week 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:09.800 holiday in Fiji with Tim and Ivy, and I thought 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:16.920 i'd just do a bit of an impromptu recording episode. 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.399 It's literally like nine am on the Monday, and I 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.319 got back yesterday at seven pm last night, so my 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.480 brain isn't working properly, so we'll see how this episode goes. 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.440 But I want to chat to you about what happened 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.400 our holiday, the strange events that happened before. There's some 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:40.160 like w WU stuff that happened my RNC project. Fam 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.880 are gonna love that. And then also just what it 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:48.560 was like holidaying with Ivy, who's eight months yesterday, our 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.520 first like international holiday with her, and just like how 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.480 we navigated that and yeah, so she's going to be 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.000 like a little update and then even just a little 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:02.400 Ivy update too, So that's what this episode is going 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:07.440 to be about. So, first of all, this holiday was 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.079 planned and it was supposed to be a big family 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:14.680 holiday with Cooper, my brother and his wife Ash and 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:19.160 his two kids, Billy and Body obviously meet him and Ivy. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.360 So we booked this incredible villa. We stayed at the 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:27.360 sixth Census in Fiji, which is like a beautiful like 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.919 I don't want to see. Yeah, i'd say, like holistic. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:34.640 They're very into like your health and wellness, very bougie. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.639 And we had that booked from the start of the 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.480 year obviously because you know, we've been in COVID the 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.040 last two years, no one's been able to travel, and 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.360 me and Cooper were like, we're craving a holiday, let's 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.560 do it together. And yeah, so we booked and we 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.440 were so excited and you know, getting ready for that. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.480 I had prepped my team and hate team and everyone 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.440 was all good to go. And then literally a week 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:08.799 before we're supposed to leave, Ash Cooper's wife got COVID 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:16.000 and we were just like, oh my god, and we 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.440 were just kind of hoping, you know, maybe she would 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.720 start testing negative towards the end of the week and 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.800 Cooper and the boys just like isolated in another end 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:29.840 of the house. Long story short, Cooper ended up getting COVID, 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:34.080 Billy and Body ended up getting it, and they couldn't 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.520 join us on our family holiday, which is just bloody devastating. 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.520 I just feel obviously so sad for them because I 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.200 know how much they were looking forward to it, but 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.840 also for us because we were really excited to go 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.080 with them anyway. So that was the first thing where 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.200 we were like surely, not like what are the chances 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.760 because Cooper and Ash had never had COVID before. And 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.440 also just like another random thing I got a lot 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.760 of during this episode two. I'll be answering questions about 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.560 traveling with Ivy, and I got the question of, you know, 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.400 was I worried about Ivy getting COVID by traveling and 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.760 I don't know. I try not to let the fear 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.960 of COVID consume me so and even just like small 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.479 things make me feel better. So I had the two 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.000 vaccines done when Ivy was still in my belly, so 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.400 I know that she's got some antibodies from me. And 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.680 then when I got COVID at the start of the year, 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.880 she her and Tim didn't get it, and I would 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.039 assume that maybe she started to get it and maybe 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.320 her system like you know, foughd it off. I don't know. 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.480 I actually don't know how it works. But I really 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.679 wasn't too worried. Obviously, were super safe. We're wearing masks 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.039 and hand sanitizing everything. But I try not to let 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.000 like COVID put me into a fear base mentality. So 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.240 I wasn't too worried with Ivy, and because she had 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.600 antibodies from my vaccine, made me feel a lot better 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.559 about us traveling internationally. But anyway, long story, sure, Cooper 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.400 and Ash can come very upsetting. We still had to 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.960 go just because Cooper and Ash could you know, get 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.000 some money back because they were they did test positive, 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.600 whereas me and Tim hadn't, So we still had to 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.960 go otherwise we were going to lose all accommodation anyway, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.040 So we went, and I was definitely ready for a 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.920 holiday I'll kind of chat about this in a different episode, 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.760 but even if you listen to a previous episode, I 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.680 kind of explained I do feel like I'm at a 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.480 position now where I am a little bit out of alignment. 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.160 And the reason that I know I'm out of alignment 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.760 is because previous to this holiday, I was feeling quite 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.840 burnt out, and I find I feel burnt out when 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.360 I'm I guess explained it in a way of you know, 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.760 when you're running a business, you do have to be 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.160 ahead of time, and so you know, within Naked Harvest, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:02.400 within the podcast, within my personal business with brand sponsorships 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:06.479 and brand partnerships, everything is very much planned out. So 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.960 for example, last year, I made a lot of decisions 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.840 that then I guess play out this year. And I 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.720 feel like last year Georgie is so different and so 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.680 far from now Georgie, but I'm dealing with a lot 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.480 of her decisions, if that makes sense. I hope this 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.719 makes sense. And so I am feeling out of alignment 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:36.479 because I'm like transitioning into this new Georgie who is 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.920 a mom and she's navigating business and Ivy and Tim 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.239 and all the things. But I'm like dealing with old 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.600 Georgie's decisions, and that's how I know him kind of 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.440 out of alignment because before our holiday, I was feeling 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:56.680 really burnt out. And I absolutely love what I do. 0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.000 You guys know, I'm so passionate, Like my business is 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.960 literally empowering women. How could you not be in love 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.000 with that if that was your purpose? And you know, 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.920 I was launching the project, which is my favorite thing 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.400 to launch, and it just lights me up and seeing 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.560 everyone on the same vibe. And so even though I 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.240 was doing all the things that you know should light 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.200 me up and should make me feel a certain way, 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.120 I was starting to feel burnt out. And that's how 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.880 I knew I really needed to get back into alignment. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.080 And that's actually what I'm working on in the project 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.200 right now with everyone else in real time. It is 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:37.480 officially week two. Congratulations everyone if you're following long and yeah, 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.760 so that's what I'm working on. Anyway, long story short, 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.840 I definitely was feeling burnt out and I felt like 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.400 I needed a holiday, So me and Tim were going 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.760 to kind of go no matter what, if that makes sense, obsolutely, 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.360 if we had COVID, we would not have gone, but 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:56.880 just yeah, so we went and amazing, we you know, 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:02.200 got all packed. We went to the airport early Sunday morning. 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.400 We had like an eight thirty flight and then so 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.280 the first thing was like Cooper and Nash not being 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:12.240 able to come, and I don't know, previous to us 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.760 going again, I don't know, not that if I should 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.920 be sharing this, but I just was getting like really 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:24.520 weird thoughts about because Billy is a year old and 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.400 you know, only six months off Ivy, and I just 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:33.160 kept getting these weird thoughts of this is gonna sound 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:38.280 really horrible, but like little kids drowning, and I don't 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:39.800 know how to explain it. But I even had a 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.800 conversation with Ash where I was like, I don't know, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.360 I'm feeling really concerned because the villa we stayed in 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.720 had an infinity pool right off like the main area, 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.320 and because it's in Fiji, there's no like you know, 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.839 pool regulations where the pool is fenced off like here 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.320 in Australia, and I just like, I don't know, like 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:06.840 I kept having weird feelings of like I know that infants, 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.400 like when they go into water, they can often drown 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.480 very quickly, like within thirty seconds, because they just they 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.319 don't know how to like breathe underwater, and they swallow 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.200 water and they drown. And I know this is getting 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.640 like really dark, but I don't know. I had this 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.720 like just weird feeling. And I was like starting to 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.320 like have a bit of fear around going to Fiji 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.319 and having Ivy near the pool, and I was like, 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.120 oh my god, what if she starts crawling and like 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.200 you know, Billy's crawling. And I even spoke to Ash 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.840 about it, and I had I also follow this page 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.480 called Tiny Hearts Education where it's all about like education, 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.960 and they put up a pose which is probably where 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.680 it like stemmed from of a little boy who drowned, 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.960 who was only two years old, and it was just 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.840 so devastating and I just, I don't know, I had 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.600 this weird feeling anyway. Again, I don't know where I'm 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.640 going with this, but when Cooper and Ash couldn't come, 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.840 obviously it was very upset and very upsetting, and like 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.800 who knows, but that fear of the pool and the 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:15.040 babies and stuff went away, and so me and Tim, 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.280 you know, I like to think things do happen for 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.480 a reason, and the universe is supporting us and whatnot, 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.000 and so like Tim even said something like, you know, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.480 maybe if Cooper and Ash were meant to come, something 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.200 bad was going to happen, and so maybe it was 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.760 I don't know, it just I had this feeling and 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:38.600 then you know, they couldn't come and whatnot. So I'll 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.760 just like leave that as that. But that feeling kind 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.120 of vanished with fear around Ivy and the pool once 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:51.320 we got there. Anyway, so we got to the airport. Now, guys, 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:56.360 we haven't traveled internationally obviously since COVID, and I just 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.280 felt like a bit of a deal. But the first 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:06.880 problem was we hadn't done our international vaccine certificates. I 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.440 didn't really know we had to do this because Cooper 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.520 booked the holiday. But basically it's just this thing where 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.880 if you have the vaccine, you just have to get 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.000 it authenticated by Many Care and you can simply do 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.839 it online. Takes two seconds. It's not an issue. And 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.880 so the lady was like, oh, I just need your 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:29.840 international vaccine passports, And as soon as she said it, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:35.360 my heart dropped because I have this annoying thing. I'm 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.840 so annoying because I leave things and I'm like not 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.360 proactive with things, whereas Tim is so proactive, but for 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.040 literally six months now, my financial advisor has been like, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.760 you need to have everything in one name because things 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:55.720 are just getting so confusing because I sometimes have important 0:11:55.760 --> 0:12:00.920 documents in Stevenson, my maiden name, and then I sometimes 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:05.880 have important documents in Crouch, my married name. So for example, 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.080 my passport is in Crouch, whereas a lot of other 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.600 documents are in Stevenson, and my license is in Stevenson 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.480 and Medicare is in Stevenson. And I'm just like, I've 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.559 just been lazy, Like I've just been so lazy that 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.640 I haven't changed things over and like, for example, my 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.480 license because it hasn't expired. I was just like, when 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.640 I have to get it redone in a year or two, 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.960 I will just do it then because it's like it 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.480 costs money, Like I don't want to like have to 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.080 get a new license and you know, line up at 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:41.080 the place and this and that. So anyway, long story short, 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.280 my financial advisor has been advising this to me for 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.120 so long, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.520 get to it. So there, I've had an issue with 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:54.520 my MYGV app not allowing me to get that official 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:59.720 green tick thing because my Medicare is in Stevenson and 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.120 other things are in Crouch anyway, so I had to 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.280 go to my doctor and get a certificate printed off 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.280 of my vaccines like to get into you know, public 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.600 places when we had to do that. So I literally 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.880 have like a paper certificate of my vaccines and I 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.000 don't have the app. And so soon as she said that, 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.920 she's like, it's really easy, you just do it through 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.560 the app, and I just knew straight away. I was like, 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.800 holy shit, I'm not going to be able to do 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:27.760 it through the app. And I just said to her 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.200 straight up, I was like, I can't do it through 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:34.480 the app. What does this mean? And she goes, well, 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.800 we need this for you to be able to fly, 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.400 like this is like you need this to get onto 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.640 the plane. And I just instantly broke down. I knew, 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.320 like I like started tearing up. I looked at him 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.120 and I'm like, we're not going to be able to 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.720 fly because my Medicare is in Stevenson and my passport 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:58.040 is in Crouch. So Tim's like, it's all good, let's 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.440 just try and do it. And guys, like I know, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.720 Tim was like sent to me by the universe because 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.640 and I said this in my wedding vowls, he is 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:11.760 the calm to my crazy. I just instantly spiraled. I 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.920 started freaking out. I started tearing up, and he literally 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.000 like held me and he's like, Georgia, it's going to 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.880 be okay. If we're meant to go, we will get 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.880 onto this flight. Otherwise it was not meant to be. 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.640 And I just like, but I just thought, like, after everything, 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.280 surely not. And like we've been up since three am 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.080 because we had to get to the airport and this 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:34.920 and that. And that's like my advice guys if you 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.920 are traveling internationally, like just get there three hours early 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:42.120 because something like this could happen anyway. So I'm going 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.640 through the app. I'm trying to get this certificate and 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.680 it's just not working. It even has an option where 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.520 it's like if your name is different, and I'm putting 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.600 you know what my passport it says and what my 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.400 medicare says, and it's just it's not letting me. So anyway, 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.680 that was the first problem that's happening. Then comes to 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:07.000 me and goes Also the ticket is in Stevenson and 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:14.840 your passport says Crouch. Again, I didn't book and Cooper 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.640 organized this, but it wasn't his fault because he sent 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.280 it to me for approval. And it just like would 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.560 have been when I was working and I saw Stevenson 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.560 and I'm just like, yep, yeap, book the ticket. It's 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:30.160 like all good. So then she goes, you have an 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.200 hour until like check out close. You need to call 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.720 your flight like the person who booked your flight and 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.960 get her to change it now, otherwise you also won't 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.160 be able to get onto the flight tickets of this. 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.880 So I instantly call our flight, not flight attendant. I 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.080 forget what she's called our flight booker, our accommodation booker. 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:50.680 I don't know, you guys know what I mean. I 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.560 called her. She's literally asleep because this is like six 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.600 am on Sunday, and I'm like, oh my god, my 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.560 name's wrong. Can you quickly call flight center and do this? 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.120 So then and she literally said to me straight away, 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.200 she goes, I don't think we can get this done 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.680 in time, just letting you know. I'm like, my god. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.560 So then she's trying to do her part. I'm trying 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.040 to do my part. I end up talking to a 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.280 higher up person, and I'm just like, look, you can 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:23.000 see I've had my vaccines. You can see that that's 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.280 in Stevenson and my passport is crouch, Like, surely you 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:30.120 guys can just see this. Then he's calling Immigration and 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.000 he literally talks to like someone downstairs at the gate 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.600 with that side of things. Long story short, they end 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.320 up so I didn't get my international thing and they 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.800 end up just letting me through. Wait wait, wait, let's 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.240 track back. So while this was going down, I said 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.760 to Tim when I was freaking out, and then he's 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.720 trying to calm me down. I had to literally just 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.360 like pull myself together and I just said this little 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:00.520 prayer and I was like, had to take it deep breath, 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.040 and I was like, if this is meant to be, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.840 we will get onto this flight. It will all work 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.760 out and we will get onto this flight. And if 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.119 it's not, these blocks are clearly happening to you know, 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.879 protect us or for whatever reason, it is okay. And 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.879 I had to say a little prayer and I just 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:21.840 was like, look, it is what it is. I was 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:26.879 so fucking nervous, like basically crying. Long story short, Immigration 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.240 let me through, and the flight attendant, well she she 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.320 didn't actually get to change my name, and she goes 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:37.959 the alternative is we can book you a flight, like 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.560 I would have to pay for another ticket, and we 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.920 had booked in business and there was obviously no spots 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.399 left in business because like I couldn't take my own spot, 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.360 if that makes sense. So I was going to have 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:56.040 to buy another ticket in economy and like sit away 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.280 from Tim and Ivy, who would be sitting in business. 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.000 It's not I'm not saying about the economy part of things, like, 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.919 so you don't mind at all, but like I'd be 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.679 away from Tim and Ivy and there would be a 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.359 spare seat beside them, which is technically my seat. But 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.879 that's what would have to happen. I don't know. It 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.040 was like this whole big thing. Long story short, the 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.240 surface desk guy end up calling someone and then calling 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.400 someone else and they could fix it in the back end. 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:28.720 And long story short, we literally just made it to 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.080 our gate. We got through customs, they changed my name, 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:36.800 they got my immigration okayed me, and we literally were 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.640 the last people walking on the plane and we were 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:44.560 there three hours early. So anyway that happened, I was 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:50.240 just like, oh my god, I guess like invoking that 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.760 asking the divine and just being like, look, if this 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:58.080 is meant to happen, please help me, Please let this 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.040 go through, and if it's not, I accept. It was 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.679 just so necessary during this period. So yeah, that was 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:09.480 a bit of a shit shit show. Long story, I 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.040 guess like the takeaways from this is like, just like 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.639 get everything sorted before we go to the airport. And 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.960 I know that's like self explanatory, but I think I 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:21.000 just like had so much trust in like flight Center 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.439 and just everything being fine, and I just felt like 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.640 a bit of an idiot. But it all worked out. 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.040 We got on the plane, we got there, and honestly 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:34.399 there was no other hiccups moving forward. And I just 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:36.960 remember this feeling, and this is going to make sense 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.520 to my riots and Conker Project girls of just locking 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.320 in the core belief of if this is meant for us, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.080 it will work out, if that makes sense, and if 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.320 it's not, it is okay, because I really could have 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:55.280 just like spiraled and crumbled crumbled. But it's like obviously 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.800 Tim really helped because it really pulled me together. But yeah, 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.400 that was that was the start of our all day. 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.879 But anyway, we got there, We had the most beautiful time. 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.879 It was stunning weather. It was stunning weather, and it 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.439 was perfect because it was their winter. But it was 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.600 like still hot. It was twenty eight degrees sort of thing. 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.400 But it's like wasn't too hot. You know how some 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.520 tropical places are just like they're a bit hot. It 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:26.040 wasn't too hot. It was perfect. I definitely recommend Six 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.640 Senses Fiji. Not sponsored or gifted or anything like that. 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.040 We paid for everything ourselves. We stayed in so they 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.880 have villa and then residences, so we stayed in a residence. 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.439 So it is a four bedroom villa sort of thing. Obviously, 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.240 because Cooper and Ash was supposed to come, so we 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.399 needed the bedroom. So it was just like me and 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.439 Tim in this big villa. But it was beautiful and 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:51.840 it was lovely. It was quite expensive, just to be 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.399 very honest, So just like I noticed obviously, like the 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:59.879 accommodation was quite expensive. But I'm someone who I really 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.680 I love paying money for good accommodation and for like 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:08.920 the lifestyle when you're holidaying. But even like the food 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.600 and everything was just quite extensive. Like I got a massage, 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.600 a ninety minute massage, and it was like four hundred Australian. 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:18.800 You know that when you stay at a resort, a 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:23.000 bougie resort, but everything's expensive, like the food, everything like that. 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.040 And I guess, I don't know. I've never been to Fiji, 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.480 so I don't know if that's normal. I think I 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:33.760 just wasn't expecting that. But it was amazing and yeah, 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:35.960 so we had a really good time and it was 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:39.920 a really good trip with Ivy. So this was our 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:44.960 first international flight, well, Ivy's first flight. Yeah, Ivy's first 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.399 flight in general. So I've had questions about what we 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:51.000 did on the flight. I packed, you know, a couple 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:55.440 of bottles, her sippy cup, everything empty, just because obviously 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:59.240 you go through customs internationally and you can't have more 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:02.359 than one hundred millis. I did pack her baby food 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:06.479 and you know, all those sorts of things. And as 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:08.560 soon as we got on the flight, I just asked 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.320 the flight attendant if she could fill up her bottle 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.119 with boiling water and then I just let that cool. 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.320 We put water into a sippy cup and she just 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.280 sipped on that as she went up for her ears, 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.919 so they weren't blocked and she was really good. You know, 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:27.000 we just like fed her, and then she slept for 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:28.760 a little bit, and then she played for a little bit. 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:30.960 She did cry a couple of times, but him just 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:34.359 had to like kind of get up and entertain her, 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.320 and you know, it's it's just gonna happen, like babies 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.760 are babies. And also Ivy's a bit temperamentalso she wasn't 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:45.119 like sitting still. So the flight was okay. It was 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:48.600 only three and a half to four hours. I did 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:52.320 say to Tim though, I don't know, so Ivy's eight months, 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:53.960 but I just I don't know if I would do 0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:57.560 a longer flight with her, because she was pretty over 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:01.560 it towards the end and it was getting not stressful, 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:03.520 but just you know when you like can't relax and 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.200 you're just like wanting to be there ready. So don't 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.160 know how like a longer flight would go. You'd almost 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.600 I've seen people literally you can put a cot at 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.199 the back of the aeroplane seats and the baby can 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:19.080 sleep in there. So if you are traveling like overseas, 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.080 like to America or something, I think you would definitely 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.920 do something like that, because yeah, even just like a 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:27.159 three to four hour flight, she was getting pretty over it. 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.000 But she did really well, and everyone on the plane 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.640 was like, oh, she's so good, and me and Tim 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:34.840 were sitting there like, you know, just a bit stressed out, 0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.480 cannot relax, but it's fine. You do what you gotta do. 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:41.760 In regards to like the holiday with Ivy, again, the 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:44.880 time difference wasn't too bad. It's only a two hour 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.520
