Well, g'day from Down Unda. I have arrived. (In Australia that is.) My plane landed at 6:15 am, local time, this morning and it is currently 5:25pm, just I am here just under 12 hours but so far I like it. I have gotten sunburned already (what with being the palest, most ghost-like apparition in the world it's no wonder), but that is OK - a little sunrburn on the bum never hurt anyone. (Well, actually it hurts be but who is counting?)
It's weird - they drive from the opposite side of the car, on the opposite side of the road, and it is a little bit distracting and I am not sure that I know what to do with any of it yet really. Also, I have already lost one pair of sunglasses. Actually I am fairly sure that I left that at the restaurant where we had lunch but ... who can really be sure? And... I haven't gone back to check yet. Maybe I will later this evening.
I am very tired. A 22 and 1/2 hour journey would put anyome through a loop. My flight was two hours late leaving from Philadelphia, and an hour late landing in San Fransico. I was very worried that I would miss my flight - but I RAN and RAN and RAN through that airport and made it in time to board. Only - problem. As I handed the man my boarding ticket he told me that it was invalid. WHAT?!?! Apparently you need a visa to enter Australia, and I didn't have one. So oh my goodness! I was worried but luckily I was allowed to purchase one right that at the counter. So, crisis averted.
Then the flight from San Fran to Sydney was 13 hours. That is a lot of hours to be sittting down in a cramped seat with people pressed in all around you. I sat next to a woman and her two, young children. Luckily they were adorable and well-behaved so no problems there.
All-in-all a good time so far! I am just glad to be here!! Missing everyone at home <3 LOVE YOU <3.
