The day started very early in Brisbane. We were up at 3.30AM as we just could not sleep. This turned out to be good as we ended up having breakfast at the International Airport and had a chance to do some duty free shopping.
The flight over was the usual cattle class, full plane and not any room to spare. Thank goodness the QANTAS food was better than average.
We arrived at LAX with the usual Homeland Security warnings buzzing in our ears so our entry forms were diligently filled out to make sure we didn't make any mistakes and have the end of the line pointed out to us.
We ended up at our hotel at 9.30AM only to find out that our room would not be ready until 2PM so guess what, we hit one of the local shopping Malls to practice the plastic.
We are currently waiting on Ken and Christine's arrival and tomorrow we look forward to seeing some of LA's attractions.
No photo of breakfast in Brisbane but here are the Burger & Fries in LA.

Hi Bob & Kerry,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are on your way,and with a solid base of Burgers & Fries you have set a good pace.
also you had better watch the plastic as it can easily melt.
Lost again at golf last Friday to Jason, but as he reminded me that he might be selecting the nursing home I thought it prudent to concede
We have had trouble with our computer but all is now well, so we will be tracking your travels with interest. Be good and stay safe

Thinking of you guys. Glad the trip was okay. Great way to keep in touch. Have fun. Did you get any bargains at the Mall Kerry? Love you. Dianne K.
ReplyDeleteHi guys
ReplyDeleteBurgers and fries in L.A.!! Are you both crazy? You could of bought a burger and fries AND a small coke here in Brisbane for $4.95 and saved on the airfares. You outlaws look like your having a miserable time with open roads, good weather, good horses and round the camp fire at night with a warm glass of milk and cookies. Ride far, ride safe.
love Gary and Carmel.
