I'm Home!!!!!
 

Well.....we made it!! I have been home now for exactly 17 hours and 6 minutes!!

We had an awesome trip from Orlando to Melbourne. From Orlando to LA, flew 1st Class!!! :cool:

From LA to Sydney then on to Melbourne, it was Business class and I have to say, (no i-told-you-so's anypan)....Its gonna be bloody rough the next time we have to travel and can only afford cattle class!!!

We both slept really well on the LA - Sydney leg. Boy, getting the sleep on that leg makes a huge difference to how you arrive in Oz.

We lasted being up all day until about 9.30pm this evening before we both zonked out....but now its 2.50am and I am awake again :(

Overall though...I feel fantastic being home....Paul says he is feeling "calm" about the whole thing so, hopefully that is a good sign....time will tell I guess...

Will post more of our experiences with getting Paul set up over here as they happen....

Great to hear from you again!!! I know what you mean about club, we flew BA club world to San Fran both ways last year, but last week had to fly economy with Cathay to Adelaide.......makes a HUGE difference to how you feel when you arrive! Keep us posted as Im looking forward to hearing how you settle in, but for now....go back to bed!

Britains gain is Bendigos loss.

I have to say that the way you managed to get business class is certainly original! ;)

Glad to hear you're safe and in one piece. :)
