I made it! And so did my luggage!

I guess all the flying for work over the years was good training for my journey over the Pacific these past two days. The flight wasn't as bad as I had braced myself for. It went by rather painlessly, actually. I had planned on taking some melatonin, which was a great idea in theory ... had I not packed them in my suitcase and checked my bag ... But that's ok - I slept just fine without it anyway :)

So, all i did for about 20 hours was eat and sleep, eat and sleep, eat and sleep - and it was GREAT. I don't know why people complain about airplane food, because c'mon, you're sitting/sleeping in a chair and with just a word like "chicken", you have a full plate of hot food complete with dessert and drink. You don't even have to do the dishes. Living like a king!!

(Sorry, I missed the 'Welcome to Melbourne' sign...)

Then, once in Melbourne James and i grabbed a panini at a cafe on DeGraves Street and walked around the Central Business District.








Thanks, James for a wonderful kick off to my Aussie visit!
