Hey we are here, in the country. The flight was LONG, I slept a lot and BJ was like one of those freaky bug eyed people, she couldn't sleep much at all. She is like on a sugar/mt dew high atm, she is wired! I swear the seats on Qantas plane a so close together on purpose cause they don't want you getting up and walking around. We sat next to this young girl , she only got up once the whole trip whereas BJ and I got up and down continuously. My legs ached so bad on the trip, and I made the mistake of taking my shoes off, big mistake my feet swelled and hurt like crazy when I finally put them back on at the LA airport.

LA airport is big and the lines are extraordinarily long....took us an hour to get thru customs, then another hour to get back into the airport in the American Airlines line. We did meet some real friendly LA people who were flying to New York so we chatted for the hour while we stood in line.

The toilets are weird, but I like them. I don't appreciate the back splash but!!! I do appreciate the automated flush, the toilet seat covers, and the nice toilet paper, and the auto taps.

We have been eating as much good stuff as possible, but the prices here are quite expensive even for food. I paid $11 for a small meal at Burger King, 2 drinks and a burger and hash browns. That seems excessive. I have had Taco Bell...yum, and popeys chicken which was nice.
