My sister and I did a fly-in/fly-out adventure to Sydney this weekend for our cousin's wedding. Now in our family the mere mention of going to Sydney (for whatever length of time- in this case, overnight) sparks the beginning of the most efficient transporting and distribution process with "Food Freighters-Special Smugglers of Fine, Asian cuisine, with room left to spare for mischevious relatives' demands."
The process goes something like this:
1) Inform family of departure date and time of freight carrier- recommended minimum capacity of 2 people, based on amount of food required to be delivered.
2) Picking List prepared by customers- we only have one customer..........Grandma.........but this is all we need to keep this distribution process going.
3) A supply of food to be imported into NSW is prepared also........... provided by Dad or Grandma.
4) Freight carriers begin their groaning/rolling eyes process
5) On date of departure, freight carriers are given the special bag (sometimes suitcase) to transport the goods
6) Imported QLD Food is distributed to chosen NSW receivers, whether they like it or not
7) Freight carriers then make their way to the allocated Fine Asian cuisine venue (a Chinatown BBQ House) to receive the supply of goods as per the Picking List
8) In response to Step 6, the NSW receivers then plan their counter distribution service, by providing goods without the knowledge of the Freight carriers
9) On finding out about Step 8, Freight carriers and NSW receivers have a "special meeting" involving lots of grumbling and comments revealing the "naughtiness and corrupt" ways of the NSW receivers. (note, Freight Carriers are always innocent)
10) Freight Carriers reluctantly receive the NSW food parcel, and groan more.... knowing the fact that they now have more baggage to take back then when they first arrived
11) NSW food parcels are then received back at the headquarters of "Food Freighters."
Oh yeah, amongst all this there was a wedding wasn't there? It went well indeed :D
