Hi Everyone
Well we've made it to Los Angeles to start our next adventure! Danielle dropped us off at Brisbane Airport where we left at 9.30am on Air New Zealand Flight to Auckland. After a 3 hour stop over we then travelled overnight and arrived in Los Angeles at 10.20am this morning. It was a pretty uneventful flight. Noel slept nearly all the way of course and I dozed off and on. Our seats were as comfortable as possible when you are couped up for so long. My knee survived a lot better than I thought although I have to admit it is nice to be able to stretch it out properly now. The time seemed to travel by quite quickly though and didn't seem to be a 12+ hours flight. It did seem strange being on our own though! We collected our bags and went through immigration and customs without any problems and then went to visit Starbucks before leaving the airport. The shuttle bus from our hotel picked us up and we are now at the Travelodge at LAX and relaxing. It was almost like coming home walking out of LAX to meet the shuttle, seeing everyone driving on the wrong side of the road and sitting on the wrong side of the car again but it wont be long before it will be the correct side for us.... we pick up a hire car tomorrow so will get used to it again quickly. We have an early start in the morning with a 6.20am flight out of LAX to Minneapolis to meet up with Scott. We have to be at the airport 1.5 hours beforehand so we are hanging out to have an early night tonight. Everyone take care at home and we look forward to sending updates to you as often as we can. Don't forget it's easy to send us a message through the Message and Comments section on this website.
Lots of love to everyone.
Noel and Pam
