Final Thought

Final Thought

WOW What a Trip… Dunno how I will explain just how good it has been and how much fun I have had over the last 5 weeks. It has been an amazing time. One I will never forget. Hong Kong, Zermat, Paris, London, San Francisco, New York, Orlando, Las Vegas and Los Angeles All them in 5 weeks not a bad effort. Plus stops in Melbourne, Sydney, Honolulu and Washington. The best of them all well it’s hard because they were all great but Hong Kong and New York were great. I love how busy they are and how much there is to do. The worst well that was Sydney when we got home, I am still not a fan of that airport. All the hotel I booked were great and didn’t have a problem with any of them, so the hours and hours of work I put into getting good ones paid off, I hope Tim and Joel appreciate how much work it took to do that.

Not sure how many photos we took between us but it’s over 200 GB and many hours of video. It will take along time to go through them all, but we have time before our next trip. I will say my thanks to Tim and Joel for there part on our trip and for putting up with me for 5 weeks, I know by the end we had enough but its all worth it. So we will start to plan the next trip for a few years time.

This trip was not cheap but it’s worth every cent, one I would happily pay again. Next time different destinations and I am sure more fun.

Well that’s it, my holiday has come to an end. After counting down the last 130 days on the computer waiting for this trip to start, it seems to have gone too quick. I know it took five weeks because I am stuffed, living out of a case for that long and being on the move all the time really does wear you out. So thanks Tim and Joel for helping make the last 36days so good.

The Final Flight

11:59pm Sydney Time

On our final flight home now, its a but later than we planned but still home a lot faster than if we went to Melbourne. The flight back to Australia was long, really long i think we were in the plane for about 19hrs. Thanks to the stupid to load the aircraft. But once we were in the air it was fine. I got a bit of sleep watched a few movies and listened to some music. We had our stop in Honolulu i remember landing but that’s it next thing we were flying again and i had missed half the movie. We got into Sydney about 2hrs late then we had to clear customs, so by the time we got to the rex desk we had missed it by about 3hrs. But we got on the next flight anyway. The rex flight should get us into Albury at about 1pm. Funny thing going through security to get on this flight, I found out that i had been carrying my knife with me on all the flights in America, and took until now for them to find it, its a huge knife which you could do some serious damage with. And one other things, How good is it to here Australians, you really do miss our accents. When you have been away for so long not hearing it, you forget what it sounds like, every now and then you will pick a bit up at an airport, but nothing beats walking into Sydney customs and hearing them answer you with “not bad mate” you miss that. And all the other slang we have over here, you have to try not to use it when you are away because they just look at you funny.

In the Air

8:29am LA Time

We are flying again, we have been in the air now for about 9 hours well bit less than as we had to stop and get fuel in Honolulu. We are now 2hrs behind as we left an hour late because there was too much cargo so we were too heavy and would not make it non-stop. So they took a shit load of fuel off and topped us up there. It also doesn’t help we are in one of there oldest 747’s so we use more fuel anyway. So we are set to land at 8am…REX flight is at 8:15am…..do the maths…and yep we miss our flight. Looks like we will have to try and get the 11am flight. if its not full.
