Up Up and Away!


Vacations should not begin at 2:30 am!  That's when the morning alarm rang for us to get ready for our 43 hour journey to Perch Australia. Our travels through airports will cover a span of 
 three I continents.  It will take 5 1/2 hours to fly to San Francisco and then 13 hours to Beijing. With just about 2 hour layovers in each airport , we will then take 7 hours to fly to Bangkok  where something different will happen. Our last flight  was changed that gives  us a 10 hour layover in this airport. Luckily they have a hotel in the international terminal so we have a room booked.  However, we can only stay six hours because of their rules. At least we can shower and sleep in a bed for a few hours. On Friday morning we will begin our last 7 hour flight to Perth Australia. We plan to stay near the port and adjust to the 14 hour time difference before boarding the plane. We have been in the air for 15 minutes and John, Rose, and Suzie are asleep.  I guess it's time for me to try and sleep. 😘

  9. I neglected to sign up for the email notice so I just decided to check. There you are with some great stories and photos as usual. What and Dventure and no ship yet. By now you should be aboard and relaxing. I signed on tidal for the email notice so I won't be behind during your trip. So glad John got his wallet back. Yes it is snowing here and 20 degrees.some typos here but I think you understand. I am looking forward to watching the Australian tennis open on tv. I am pretty sure it takes place in Melbourne way east of where you are now. Bye for now.

  10. You would think here in Texas would warm and sunny but it just started snowing yesterday and hanging around in high teens and low twenties. Good luck on your adventures tomorrow and tell papa to check his pants for his wallet in the morning

    Love you Cameron
