Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda were in the McGuire's SUV and on there way to the airport, Lizzie could not stop smiling, she was going to Australia with her two best friends, her parents were trusting her and her little brother wasn't going!!! Life was sooo sweet.

The McGuire's pulled into the car park and collected a trolley for their Luggage. Lizzie could not wait, she and Miranda kept on giggling to one another and Gordo was taping the airport for future reference.

"This is sooo cool you guys we are going to Australia, I am really excited" Laughed Lizzie

"Yeah" replied Miranda with a scared tone in her voice, Lizzie looked at her with a confused look,

"Miranda what's wrong don't you want to go? Asked Lizzie

"No its not that, I've never flown before and I am really scared, Lizzie what am I going to do?" enquired Miranda. Gordo who had apparently been listening joined in,

"It doesn't matter Miranda neither me or Lizzie have flown so we are all on the same page!"

"Yeah and if you are going to Mexico city later this year you'd better get used to it" replied Lizzie, with a you'll be ok smile.

"Right you guys that's your queue check in with you passports and you luggage and for goodness sake be careful" Said Mrs McGuire with a I cant believe my babies are all grown up tone. She gave Lizzie Miranda and Gordo a big hug and so did Mr McGuire and left the airport crying.

This was it Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo were really going, this was real, and for the first time in her life she actually wanted her parents there with her. Quickly she shook that feeling off and joined the queue with Miranda and Gordo.

Minutes past and they had checked in and were in the duty free section,

"Hey Miranda smell this it says that it is Strawberry but I think it smells like melon, you try!"

Miranda smelt the Lip-gloss and agreed with Lizzie, Gordo on the other hand was smelling aftershave, he wanted something that would impress Lizzie, but he had no idea what!!

The time past quickly and the three friends were parading down the terminal to gate 167, the nerves had really started to kick in to Miranda who was constantly fiddling with her watch and bag.

Lizzie who had obviously picked up on this took Miranda's hand and gave it a quick squeeze and gave her friend a gentle smile, after all she knew exactly what she was going through, she was terrified, the only person that seemed unfazed by the whole experience was Gordo, he was strutting around like he owned the place. Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda arrived at the gate and started to queue.

When they finally got to the front the airhostess checked their passports and their boarding cards and showed them in. The three friends walked side by side down the corridor and entered the aeroplane that's was taking them to Australia, nerves and excitement paced over Lizzie like a waterfall she felt the adrenaline rush through her, she looked over at Miranda and Gordo's faces and could see the same thing, they quickly found their seats and sat down,

"Hey guys do you think that we are the only people that won this competition?" Lizzie had been thinking about this all day.

"I don't know maybe there is, but come on we won didn't we?" replied Gordo with a matter-of-fact voice.

The three of them had a really good laugh on the plane, they were taking photos and listening to music and play card games and allsorts, not one of them complained, it wasn't until the tree of them tried to have some sleep when the problems began.

Miranda leaned on Lizzie and Lizzie leaned on Gordo, who leaned on the window, they all found a comfy position and eventually fell asleep.

It wasn't long until the airhostess got them up and informed then that the aircraft would be landing soon.

So Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo rubbed their eyes and tried to wake themselves up, they soon snapped out of it they were there, in Australia, on there own, Lizzie could not believe it!!!

"Guys we are here in Australia" Lizzie practically shouted,

"This is sooo cool" Miranda and Gordo said in unison

They boarded off the aircraft and went to collect their luggage, it wasn't long and then they went through customs, and when they finally left the airport all of them smelt the air. It had a different smell to it. Lizzie eagerly looked at her two best friends; right now she wouldn't have been anywhere else.

They finally got to their hotel and a tall woman with long brown hair, walked up to them,

"Hi there I am Alice and I am going to be your surfing instructor, but first we will have you checked in and settled then at 10 o' clock tomorrow morning we will meet here and then go down to the beach, ok, I think I should let you have some sleep" she chuckled hugged the three of them and wished them a good night before she left.

Gordo was the first one in there rooms, he was checking everything, that guy was so organised.

"Hey Lizzie check these out!" Miranda was already ripping off the wrapper off the free complimentary chocolate, Lizzie smiled at her friends, they were the coolest.

It wasn't long before they were all unpacked and getting ready for bed,

"Guys I don't know about you but I am soo ready for this "Lizzie said quietly into the dark room

"Urghh" Miranda and Gordo said in unison, obviously they were just about nodding off. Lizzie smiled and finally went to sleep with a smile on her face.
