This post should be hitting around 7pm Sunday for all of you. HA! No missed days. It's about noon on Monday here. We had a hell of a journey. From the time we left the house until getting to the hotel, it took us 28 hours.

Car service picked us up at home at about 1:45 and we got to the airport around 2:20. We had to go to the counter because this was an international flight and they had to verify our passports. Luckily they were able to check us in for both flights. We got to the club, had some lunch, then headed to our gate at 5pm. The gate agent almost got a beat down. For whatever reason he decided B's bag was too big for overhead and embarrassed her in front of everyone because we had to hold up the line while we rearranged all of our fucking luggage. I ripped him up on twitter. I was extremely pissed beyond belief. We also had a bulkhead seat so everything had to go up above anyway. We got to LA around 8, and then had 2 hours to go from Terminal 4 to the international terminal. WHAT A HAUL. B was dying by the time we go there. We had time to kill and ended up in the OneWorld Quantas lounge. NICE LOUNGE. We had good food, charged everything, and then headed to our gate.

As a OneWorld Sapphire, we were amongst the first to board. There were about 100 on board when they pulled us because of oh, a FIRE ON THE RUNWAY. A Korean Air plane was being towed in when the tug caught on fire. It was right behind our plane. Off we go back to the gate.

For three hours.

We finally got situated around 1am and took off. Our seats were nice. B had a full three seats to herself and was able to lay down. She got quite a bit of sleep on the flight. I was in front of her in an exit with lots of room but no way to lay down. Oh well. They fed us three times on the flight and it was pretty damn good food too.

I will stop there and pick up tomorrow from us arriving at Melbourne Airport.
