So....I finally made it to Australia

Well....It took a while but I finally made it but it was one hell of a journey. It all started at Pearson. I had the ultimate bitch as the person at the counter. She ended up charging me for only 9 pounds over weight. And she also wouldn't even give me a key to cut something open.

Then the flight in Toronto got delayed. At least there was an empty seat beside me so I could stretch out. Then because the flight was delayed we ended up arriving in LA late. We ended up arriving at 945pm when the flight was to leave at 1030. We still had to pick up our luggage, change terminals and go through security. We all ended up running and sweating but we got there and made it on to the plane.

The flight to Nadi, Fiji was very long. It was 10 hours and 45 minutes long. And I got stuck beside the only people on the flight going to Fiji for a funeral. It was sooo depressing. At least the airplane food was good. As we were getting to land at Nadi the pilot said that it was a balmy 23 degrees outside.

So that wasn't true. It was so humid and hot. We then spent the next three hours in line transferring to the connecting flight. It took FOREVER but at least I found some more people to talk with.

Once we flew into Sydney I was soooooo happy my mom booked me a night at a hotel cause I ended up sleeping from 4pm on the 8th until 8am on the 9th. I needed that sleep and it totally reset my body clock. This morning I went to the hostel and I really like it. The people are friendly and it's in a really nice area.

I haven't done much today cause I am poor at the moment but I get payed tomorrow so WHOO HOO. I might actually be going out tonight with a South African that's in the same room as me.

Anyway I will post again soon and put pictures on later. Expect postcards in the mail.
