Re: Hi from Down Under

I am planning a trip to Brisbane in December. How difficult was the long flight?

Re: Hi from Down Under

i'm not jess but i flew from LAX to sydney and i thought i was gonna die....not jet lag but having to SIT so stinkin' long. i don't EVER just sit. be sure to walk around as much as you can and take LOTS of good reading material...(sorry for hoggin' the journal.) have fun in brisbane!

hi jess!!!! have you caught on to their phrase "dodgy" yet??? we did and loved it...everything "suspect" became 'dodgy". i still use it here cuz it sounds so funny. i found the people there to be so much fun...how about you? hope you are having a blast. we were there in the rain too but kept on keeping on. we won't let a little rain spoil OUR fun now will we?

Re: Hi from Down Under

I've made that flight a few times too - and it WAS pretty bad, but you have to put it in perspective - it's just a few hours (okay, like 12-14, I can't remember exactly now!) out of your life. All I knew is that it took me a total of 40 straight hours to get from St. Petersburg Florida to Geraldton (in Western Australia) every time, including all the layovers and everything. I tried to sleep a bunch and walked around as often as I could too - it's not much, but it does help.

Jess! I'm so happy for you getting to take this trip! I hope you are having a fabulous time!
