Land down under

Oy.
It will be good to get back to regular work.

Iris n’ I did that flight about five years ago. Flying down on a new Quantas Airbus A-380, what a magic carpet ride….roomy seats, great service.
Flying back on a Quantas Boeing 747, was a Greyhound Bus ride, by comparison. Typical cramped coach seating, less cabin pressurization.
We were whupped when we got to LAX, and still had to survive the shift to the terminal where Southwest Airlines operated from, and then a four hour layover to make the connection.
By time we got home to Galveston, we both made zombies look sentient, intelligent and reasonably competent at life and living.
Might not fit the high-speed needs of todays business and pace of life, but by Jove, I think there was merit to travel by ye olde ocean liners, after all.
Happy, successful and prosperous travels to you!

Enjoy the trip!
G’day mate. Who knows but you might find some like minded people down there.
I did, but what a nanny shithole.
