made it to "oz"

Hi all-- We arrived in Brisbane, Australia this morning after the longest flight of our lives. We departed from Billings on the 12th at 2:30, flew through Denver where we got to hang out with my best friend Heidi, then flew to LA where we caught our flight to AUS. Heidi upgraded us to 1st class for the 1st two flights so that was awesome. We flew to AUS on Virgin Australia and the flight was awesome except for the fact that it was 14 HOURS! With a flight that long and the time difference, we completely lost a day and arrived here today, the 14th. Our flight was actually to Sydney, but we got off in Brisbane for a layover and decided to stay because we were headed that way anyway. I had originally saw that our flight went through Brisbane and tried to book to there instead of Sydney but it was actually more expensive--weird how that works--so we just got off here anyway and it worked well. Next we are planning to head to the Great Barrier Reef and do some scuba diving!! We are really excited to be here. For any of you in Sydney, we'll be there at the end of our time in AUS so we'll see you then :-)
