Yesterday I embarked on a two week excursion to Australia. First we are in Sydney for a couple of days and then next week head up to Cairns to board a liveaboard and dive the Great Barrier Reef for 8 days. Then its back to the States.
This is by far the longest flight I have ever taken. I left Denver at 6:45pm, flew to LAX, had a two hour layover then boarded a plane for Sydney. 13 hours later we deplaned at 7:45am Saturday morning.
It was like an overnight sleepover with movies. We had four. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Invisible, Hairspray and Hot Rod.
The challenge of sleeping on the plane allowed me to catch the first and last movies.
ITs overcast in Sydney today as I am writing this from my hotel room. Headed to the Sydney Opera House tonight.
