Sydney Australia here we come...it'll take us two days to get there but I'm sure it'll be well worth the hours it takes to travel there from BC. Why not start the journal today, right ?!!
Time to weigh in...Matt and I are under the 50 lb limit but Connor had the heaviest bag in the group...pretty sure he's voted off the Yale Survivor before we even leave...reminds me of Marissa when we went to Europe.
We are currently sitting on the aircraft awaiting our Air Canada personnel's diagnostics of the computer system! We've been advised it will be at least 30 minutes for them to assess and fix the problem before we can take off...
When travelling with 23 students and 7 adults like we are...just getting through the check in and baggage drop off...security check points and then customs for our flight to LA took the best part of two hours. We are like a human slinky working our way through the beautiful YVR airport.
We finally get clearance to take off and little did I know that we were starting the trip on a PNE ride...one of the roughest take offs in the history of take offs for me...we got some 'air' big time...was kinda white knuckling it... Not gonna lie!
The fun part is arriving here in LAX (insert sarcasm)...we have been waiting for about five and a half hours so far...hanging for four hours in one terminal...then once our gate was announced we got to leave the terminal...WALK about 20 minutes with Mr.Finnigan weaving us through the different entrances and finally we get into the Robert Bradshaw terminal and have to re-clear security again...except that there's like maybe four hundred people in front of us...no problem...we got this...all of us through and onto gate 154 for another two hour wait...we are bonding and eating, it's all good!
Another slight delay with one big plane blocking our Quantas parking spot...so we are waiting for them to get pushed back and out so that our waiting craft can pull in...the boys and I had some yummy burgers during our wait, they checked their phones and recharged them for the next flight and played some cards.
It's almost midnight and we are ready to start our 15 hour flight to Sydney!
