Waiting Game...

I've dropped Olivia at school and Alexis at kinder. Stripped and changed our bed, swept (again) wiped the benches, emptied the bin - and now I'm sitting here nervous, excited and very well caffeinated;)

We have 3 checked bags for the journey over - the big black bag has another red bag in it (the same as the larger one in the photo) so it's ready to be filled with shopping;)

On Friday...

... we will be boarding a QANTAS plane from Melbourne's Tullamarine International airport and flying 14 hours to LA before boarding a Delta flight to Orlando, Florida. Total flying time = 19 hours. Add in airport checks and the lay over in LA and the total travel time is closer to 26 hours - and that doesn't include the drive to the airport on this end or the bus ride to the hotel on the other.

Thanks to the magic of international datelines we will arrive in Orlando at 6pm Friday the 2nd of November, a mere 8 hours after we left Melbourne time.
