We're on our way

The last day before travel was full of excitement. It was a sunny day so the outlook started off great. The house painters came out, the appliance delivery folks arrived, the dishwasher and new faucet were installed, softball practice went off alll without a hitch. Guess it's time to pack now...

It rained all night....Then, only hours before we are due to head for the airport I find that I don't have the proper connection for my dive gear! A call to my local dive folks got me fixed in just minutes and all was good.

We have made the first leg of the journey just fine. We are now checked in and waiting for the LA-Syndey leg. As as reminder when we checked in with Quantas the gate attendant said "they serve dinner and breakfast on the flight and free drinks for the duration of the flight so eat too much in the airport. Ya gotta like that.
