“This flight arrives two days later.”
Well, dad bought the tix today. I leave Monday Feb 9 on United Airlines 6402 at 6:25 pm. Get into San Fran at 7:55 pm. Only a 2hr 43min layover. Then I head to Sydney, arriving at 8:05am….2 days later. My traveling time, total, without time change, is 18 hours 40 minutes. (On the way back its only 17 hours…figure that one out.) Total mileage is 7878 miles…(the same both ways…)
Every day something else comes up where it makes it feel more real, that I’m actually leaving in less than a month. Yesterday I looked at the pull date on the milk, and it was Feb 12 or something, and I thought…”Man, I’m gonna be in Australia then..!” When the pull date on the milk makes ya nervous, you know somethin extraordinary is goin on…

Peter, it’s probably the tail winds that get you home an hour or more faster than you spend getting down under.

Yeah, I think thats the same with Alaskan trips as well. When the flight and distance is that long, I guess it really adds up. How great is the possibility that you’ll be visiting me?
