Today is our travel day. Luggage is mostly packed....we've had breakfast.....and now we're waiting to go to the airport. Our ride is to be here at 11 am. It's about an hour to the airport. Our flight departs at 3 PM today (Friday) and arrives at 10 AM today (Friday) in Los Angeles. Odd. But we've gotten somewhat used to being in a different hemisphere.
Final thing before we are out the door will be to put on our Dr. Scholl's cankle preventers....aka TED hose. We bought some (Dr. Scholl's brand in UK sizes so we are hoping they do the trick). Some of you will remember that by the time we arrived here our ankles were three times their normal sizes. For the return trip home we are hoping to at least keep them compressed to no more than twice their size.
Our trek home will take a mere 21 hours. When we arrive in Charlotte at 8:45 pm Friday night it will be 1 PM on Saturday in Sydney. Theoretically we should be wide awake! We'll see.
We are on Qantas Flight 11.
