Wednesday April 11th, 2012 I started on my journey for Melbourne, Vic, AU. It was a long two days of travel but I found myself enjoying the people watching and city hopping. Of course, this day started with me oversleeping because I went out with Anne and Brandon for one last night of FairWell dinner and drinks. "No Worries" (Aussie saying) though, Genevieve and Adalynne woke me up for breakfast and departure. We had breakfast (Yummy eats of bacon, eggs, and toast prepared by Pops) Once breakfast was over I dropped Adalynne and Genevieve off at school and had over last Good Byes for a little while.
Mom and Dad drove me to St.Louis, Missouri with a small detour DeSoto to give Tirenna one last Good Bye. :-) Once we arrived to the airport I checked in my luggage and we walked to the terminals. Mom and Dad stayed around for awhile until it was time for me to check in and make my way towards my gate for the departure of a lifetime. Needless to say I boarded my first plane it St. Louis, MO only to unboard the plane only 20 minutes later. (Hydrolic leak followed by an electronical error which caused no power to the plane) Two hours and a free meal at Mosiac later, we departed St. Louis on another plane. (Might you add Tim and Tina didnt leave St. Louis, MO until after I was in the air :-) I really do Thank God for the amazing parents I have)
Once landed in Hot-Lanta, GA I found my next terminal and gate and began texting and facebooking how my travels were going. I started to realize I was only one stop away from the longest flight I would be traveling EVER! I started to become a little un-nerved but I got over it quickly.
Hot-Lanta to LAX was a five hour flight next to a woman with little words to say so I read magazines and began my book "Hunger Games" while listening to music. Pretty relaxing trip but that five hour flight made me realize how long 16 hours was really going to be.
