Default 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!!!

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!

Have a read of these, suddenly first class becomes "painfully" clear.

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.
