So when you are about to board your first international long haul flight, the last thing you want to hear is “This is a message for all people traveling on Qantas Flight 15 to Sydney. Due to a major problem with the bathrooms on board, our boarding time has been delayed. We are waiting on maintenance to fix the problem to advise us when we might be able to board. We thank you for your patience”. All I can say is I am glad I was traveling alone and didn’t have a weak bladder to worry about!
45 minutes later we boarded and were off. I scored the window seat and was next to two young guys who had left their girlfriends at home for Christmas / New Year and were having a boys weekend in Vegas! They tried to beat the great Australian Cricket Teams record of VB’s but due to limited bathrooms I think they decided it was a much safer bet not to!
I must make special mention of Michelle and Tim for whom I would not have survived the flight… Michelle Nicole’s new album is awesome and I think I listened to it about three times. I also was able to pass 2 hours with a cool documentary about Tim Minchin and his rise to fame. I then of course followed this by watching a Tim Minchin concert.
Flying into LA is a really cool thing. Especially when you fly in at sunrise (see photo). The main thing I noticed is the lack of green areas. It is just house; house; house; random huge golf course; house; house…
I was a good boy and declared the Tim Tams and am now waiting the hour for my flight to Dallas to board. I am going to make sure I pee before this flight just in case…
I forgot to mention that throughout the flight, the toilets started to fail one by one – by the end I think we were down to four toilets. Lucky I went before we left!
