Wow....we made it. It was a very long, flight. Starting in Toronto, when we arrived we didnt even have seats on the first flight. Great...is what we were thinking. but really it was GREAT!~ The lady at the desk bumped us to first class to Chicago, in the very first row, as our flight from TO was already delayed giving us only 20 mins to change flights in Chicago, including changing terminals...yeah. I know what your thinking, yah right, Tony and Sarah running through the airport...but we did it. Got on the flight and made it. The flight to Los Angeles was LONG. Tony and I didnt get seats together, and he was beside a 10year old. hahah who had to pee like every 5 mins! haha sucker. Once in LA we only had 15 mins til we got on our flight to SYDNEY! The long haul we will call it. Well it was long, but good. Total flying time was just under 15 hours I think. We didnt end up having anyone sitting beside us so it wasnt as bad as we thought. Though we feel that a note to United is in order. Please do not play the same movies that we just saw on the way from Chicago to LA! We didnt have our own tv's either it was just one big one...but it was ok.
Once we arrived, Nov 9, at 8am...we cleared customs asap, and it was smooth. Nothing too much to tell them they had all our paperwork and it was easy. We couldnt get into our hostel in the am so we just ventured out into town, trying to get as much accomplished as possible to stay awake. We got a cell phone (though I have no idea what the number is) and finished our banking information, and got all the things we needed from the stores! It was sunny and a high of 19C all day, so it was great day to venture out. We got back to teh hostel around 230 and passed out til 7pm, and then went to eat! Turns out our hostel is right beside Chinatown...aka another Disney Land for Tony! We LOVED IT! Had some amazing thai food, and went back to bed. haha oh yes we are the adventurous type! haha
Now we are off to orientation and then spending the day riding the rails in Sydney... Thursday we venture to our new home...the Jenolan Caves...now we really cant wait. Everyone at the airport told us that it was an amazing place, and that we are super lucky to be working there! Should be fun...stay tuned for some pictures and more updates from there!
