Even though I had been briefed as to how long it would be and how annoying sitting in those cramped seats would be I still didn't fully appreciate it until I finshed my second movie after I read about half of my book and we still had about 7 hours to go to Auckland, New Zealand. Fortunately the plane was only about half full so we could spread out which was good cause dad found a nice front row seat where he had lots of leg room. When we finally got to Auckland (Dear God finally!!) we had to disembark and go through security which turned out to be a walk in the park. We walked around some of the shops and I bought a cool tshirt. Then we boarded the same plane again to fly another 3 hours to Melbourne.
We were a mere 15 mins from landing in Melbourne when the captain made an announcement that we had been diverted to a holding pattern due to severe rain in melbourne. So we did donuts in our 747 for about 30 mins before being cleared to land. Once there we breezed through customs and baggage claim and customs again before finally making it to our car. This car is a beast plus it is gold which is the best color to blend in with right?
Tim, I love the way you write. I have been not only chuckling out loud, but laughed out loud once or twice. *smile* Nice car! I can't imagine driving on the "wrong" side of the road. lol. I would probably wreck right off. I KNEW the flight would be long. I'll bet the daily new experiences are really neat, though. Love to you both! Hugs.........
