Up at 6:45 this morning to catch the 7:30 courtesy bus to the airport. The flight's not departing till 11:20 but you're supposed to be ready to check in three hours early. Once we got rid of our bags we had breakfast and then headed for immigration and the duty free shops in the international terminal. Bought a pair of noise cancelling headphones before boarding the first leg of our trip - Melbourne to Sydney.
After 20 minute wait in the transit lounge we were able to board our next 747 for the Sydney to Los Angeles leg which takes 13 hours. Reached LA and passed through US Immigration and Customs - a relatively painless procedure. It all takes time though and in the end we only had 20 minutes to spare to reach the boarding gate for our flight to Chicago and Orlando.
Arrived at the Holiday Inn in Orlando just after midnight. We'd been travelling for more than 30 hours but it's still the same day. Tomorrow - Universal Studios.
