Australia – Day 01

Left for the airport around 5:30 PM giving ourselves more time to check in at the counter.

There was no line at the counter but Ir took about 20 minutes to resolve a double booking done by the company I used to book the flights. Security was quick and now at the tram to Terminal A.

It’s the little things that matter… Matt loves sitting down at the window at the end of the tram.

We had a short flight to LAX and now we wait for our long 15 hr flight to Sydney. Once there we had to transfer to terminal 3/B (international). We were hungry and looking for food. Almost no options were available near the doors, so we kept going and hoped that there was something good by our gate. We found a food court with various options. We chose to get burgers from Umami Burger but didn’t like the LAX Burger. The wife had the Cali and an order of truffle fries.

As we were in line to board I noticed that Matt’s plane seat was five rows behind ours. I quickly ran to the counter to resolve the issue. Luckily they were able to find three seats together.

Just after takeoff, we learned that they were going to give us dinner after takeoff. We were not ready for more food after our burger dinner but not wanting to go hungry later we ate.

Now with a full belly, I tried to watch a movie and go to sleep later in the hopes of adjusting my sleep schedule to Sydney. By the end of the movie, I was so tired that I stopped fighting and decided to sleep.
