Our Journey Begins!

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

We started our adventure around 5 pm Wednesday, May 21, in Salt Lake, making our way toward the airport to start our very long journey to Sydney, Australia. It didn’t take long to realize we were in for a treat, when we some how managed to almost miss our flight in Salt Lake, even though we had come plenty early. After arriving in Los Angeles in time to watch the end of game 1 of the Lakers vs. Spurs with all the Lakers fans (unfortunately Lakers were able to come back from a 20 point deficit and pull off a win), we had a 2 hour lay over before we could board our next flight, a straight shot to Sydney.

We had much to look forward to, for sure the top on the list was the 15 or so hour flight. Just reminding us that we were the intelligent gals that we are we missed when they called our numbers to board the flight, and ended up boarding late. This wasn’t that big of a deal, but when we boarded the man that was sharing our side with us seemed very disgruntled to have to let us in our seats, he was so unfriendly that he even made Wendy’s bladder only have to use the bathroom one time for the full flight. Miracles do happen!
