Arrived safely
After leaving at 7 pm for LAX finally arrived some 30 hours later is Perth. We both walked out of the sir port looking like plane chairs LOL only no so funny. We went through customs in Brisbane and Marine Travel had only allowed 2 hours between flights. Our 4 bags were the last to come out and customs had the dogs sniffing etc. Made the connecter only because it had mechanical problems. Good to make the flight but hoped the mechanical problems were fixed.
Hotel is nice with a view of the Indian Ocean. Today drove 3 hours to see Pinicales...very interesting and also saw herds of kangaroos which we have never seen in previous trips. Also visited a flower place that ships all over the world dried flowers.
Had great prawn and lobster...for lunch...picnic style...cold but great.
Post cards coming to Claire Riley Anna and Ella.
Love to all
This is a great way to get to follow your adventures.
We'll look for more blogs as you are able to post.
I can't decide if 30 hours in a plane is unbelievably long (30 hours in a chair seems brutal) or short (LA to Perth is one seriously long trip, which [not that long ago] used to mean saying good bye to people and home forever).
Thanks for letting us know you got in OK, those long flights are killers! Sounds like alot of stress with your connecting flight - next time don't pack drugs in your bags.
I'm sending this from your computer! Flew in Sat night to do run with Matt on Sunday morning and hang out some with everyone. Really wish you/Gerry we're here .. I miss you guys!!
