The Flight!

I am typing this from my premium economy upgrade onboard my V Australia flight from BNE to LAX... :D they always say it's who you know, not what you know and today that couldn't be any more true.

A friend I went to school with, whom I haven't had much to do with since school, works for V Australia and he organized my upgrade... I am so grateful for the extra legroom... The two sparklings I've consumed since takeoff (less than 2 hours ago) are also a nice added bonus!! Thanks so much Paul,I really appreciate it!!!

Saying goodbye this morning was very difficult.I am going to miss my parents, my pseudo mum, my brother, my puppy Porscha and my friends VERY, VERY, VERY much. But I know I am in for the adventure of a lifetime and that excites me!!  If I manage to find friends who are half as awesome as my wonderful friends back home, I will be a very lucky girl!!

I'm going to leave this here for now, and will come back to it later in the flight!!

12:38pm : lunch has just been served... I had chicken pot pie - I'm pretty impressed with the quality!! It was very nice!! I'm also now 3 glasses of sparkling down... This could end interestingly... Haha!  Once lunch has been cleared I'm heading to "the bar" to have a drink with Paul to catch up... It's only been 5.5yrs!!

Well, I snuck up into business class after lunch and joined Paul at the self serve bar... A few vodkas later, it was time to try and sleep... The seat next to Paul just happenend to be free, so lucky me, got to sleep in the lie flat business class bed!! After a few hours sleep, some breakfast and the moving of my stuff up into business, we were arriving at LAX!!

The flight went fairly quickly - so that was good... I just have no idea how I'll ever fly cattle class again!!! More coming soon!
