Planes, planes and waiting

Time to leave USA. Had another pretty ordinary breakfast upstairs at Stratosphere and then packed up and took cab to airport. Lots of waiting around but got to Los Angeles with SouthWest airlines and then some more waiting. Could not believe they even have pokie machines in the airport at L A.

Boarded flight about 9.15 pm ready for the 12 hour flight to Auckland. Sitting in the middle again and not much room. Can't stand these people who recline their seats into your face as soon as they board. Watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty but it was pretty uninspiring. Had dinner served about midnight and the tried to get some sleep. Might have to price these sky couches if we travel again.

Arrived in Auckland about 5.00 am and had a couple of hours in transit where we bought some brandy. Boarded next flight to Melbourne to find that our seats were in Premium Economy - very nice. Room to move, large seats, can stretch legs out fully. Pity it wasn't long flight.

Arrived in Melbourne about 8.30 and then through customs without any checking and more waiting for flight to Adelaide. Can't wait to get home and have a shower. Don't know what day it is, but what does it matter?

Some pretty grand adventures.
