Australia 2006 Day 2: En Route to Australia

Thursday March 2, 2006

The flight to Sydney was quite pleasant. I managed to get a good number of hours sleep – at least 8 out of 13 total. I was shocked that this flight was not much longer than the Hong Kong flight, and there was more legroom on Qantas than Cathay Pacific. It might have to do with the passengers, but the bathrooms stayed pretty clean through the entire flight. The in-flight entertainment had a great variety of movies and TV shows. I only managed to watch an episode of Kath and Kim to get in the mood of the trip. Gosh, I must have slept more than I thought. My iPod is holding out well – Battery not nearly as drained as I thought it might be at this point. I do wish I had the baby-canceling headphones (though the ones I have seem to be doing a good job keeping the 50 or so babies that are in the three rows around us quiet – Ok maybe not 50, but at times it seems like the queue for Buzz).

Conversion Factor: It is 11:11am 3/2/06 in LA, 6:11am on 3/3/06 in Sydney! Therefore, due to this time difference I have lost a day – good thing I get it back when I return!
