The adventure begins! Goodbyes...Emergency landing...Unexpected visit to LA...

Everything was going smoothly with the flight. I had taken my Zquil and finally gotten comfortable (sort of), when I heard the Australian pilot come on over the intercom and tell us that we are going to have to go back toward the U.S. and land in L.A. We were already well past Mexico, about 5 hours in. Passengers in the back were smelling fuel but the pilot called them technical difficulties. Long story short, I stayed in Long Beach at a hotel for free and have been waiting around all day for a new flight. Scary stuff and what started as a 2 day trip has turned into 3. Now I’m waiting around the airport with Tori for a new flight that should take us straight to Sydney….fingers crossed.

I’ve already met tons of Australians because Qantas is an Australian airline. Everyone has been really nice so far, and the “no worries” attitude is already proving true. The few people that I’ve heard get upset with the situation were drum roll please…American!  -_-

Tomorrow I should be there…let’s hope! Here are a few pictures! 

That's Everything :)
