27 April 2010 - In the beginning....

Today is the first day of our big adventure. Picked up John and Sandra at about 10:30 and drove to Melbourne through pouring rain. Good time to be leaving. Dropped the car off at Jetport and arrived at Tulla with loads of time to spare. Here we are killing time waiting for the flight to Sydney.

Anyway, all proceeded smoothly and we soon settled into the 13 hour flight from Sydney to LA. It's a pretty long flight and I didn't manage to get any sleep. Because we were flying due east, before you know it is daylight again. Managed to catch this photo during the flight.

Eventually arrived in LA in broad daylight and found we had three hours to kill to our next flight. Spent some of that time in McDonalds at the airport.
