We have had our first hiccup. Our fligt out of Huntsville is delayed such that we wouldn't make our connection into LAX. Earliest Delta could get us into LAX would be after midnight so they have rerouted us on American through Chicago. :eek:
Hopefully, the bags get word of rerouting and the rest of our trip is smooth.

Shouldn't be a problem Marc. No matter what time you call the help desk, you are bound to get someone wide awake in India, etc. to help you. And if all else fails, you can probably find a new computer somewhere in LA, I would guess ;)

Mitch and Kathy, thanks. I ended up isolating it to a hardware problem with my wireless switch. I finally got it to stop cycling on and off; hopefully, it will stay on.

Will wonders never cease!!! Jerry is packing and it's still 3 hours before we get picked up to go to the airport. He likes to wait until the last minute, but is obviously excited about this trip because he's packing early ;) . We'll see some of you in the Qantas lounge later today. Safe travels everyone. Marc-hope your computer problems go away and stay there. See you soon.

We're at DFW in Admirals Lounge - Tony got full body pat down this am at Jax airport - he'd taken his belt off (which he needed waist of pants little large) and when security guy vigorously patted bottom of pants his pants went to his ankles - I am LOL writing this! He had cute boxers on ;) ;) :o :o ;) ;) Lesson learned always be prepared

Oh,oh--this isn't starting out well. Our flight out of DFW is delayed about an hour, so theoretically we won't get to LA until 8:40 or so. The Qantas flight leaves at 10:25, so we still have a little over an hour and a half to get over there, but the problem is, I don't trust airline delays. Don't leave without us guys :( Editing to add--no wardrobe malfunctions in security at DFW.

I notice it is only the girls who think Tonys experience was funny. I am not looking forward to security at LAX tomorrow.
Peggy there is a shuttle from American gate 44 to qantas fare. Good luck.

Quick post. We just arrived in Sydney. Very warm and humid, probably a storm tonight. Around 90 degrees today. LAX weather caused delays Friday night. Aborted one landing because we were too high coming in. Ended up late for connection, but others were so late, we made it and flight ended up leaving a couple hours late to wait for even later connections.
Marc, new Delta pods are terrific. Very neat. Flight over Pacific was fine--just long. See everyone soon. Were going down to the Harbour and look for something light for lunch. We may go to Hunter Valley or somewhere outside of Sydney tomorrow or Tuesday. Still up in the air (figuratively).
Happy and safe travels everyone.

We do not leave until Wednesday as we are joining the ship in Brisbane. Right now I wish we were joining the ship in Sydney I cannot wait to see everyone.
Joanna a picture of that scene with Tony at security would have been priceless. Embarrasing for sure but once it was over what a great dinner table story. I can just picture the look on his face! Taking security to a whole new level.
See you all soon!

I just realized I have a niece who was boarding
the 8 pm flight Saturday evening. She was with a group of 16 Notre Dame Students flying to Australia for something like a month.
