Well after 36 hours of continue flying, our group made it to Australia. It is a very long day and a half, but everyone did great! The flight from L.A. to Sydney was in a new Quantas airplane. If you have to fly long distances, this is the plane to be in. I have to say, that it was even cozy.... The kids loved that they each had their individual t.v.'s. With that being said, they had 100's of movies and television shows to pick from. They also had a gaming portion on their headset- with many games to play from. So lets just say- no one was pulling our their own gaming equipment. We arrived in Sydney and had to get on our last plane. One interesting things that we all found - was that Saturday, July 17, had completely disappeared. We traveled over the international date line, and it sucked up Saturday into a black hole. When we got here it was already Sunday. So....Hallie...my dear daughter. Here in Australia, you had no birthday. :) I did however spend my anniversary with 40 students, 3 delegate leaders and one tour manager at a wonderful restaurant on the bay in Cairns. Happy Anniversary Honey!!
Before dinner we took a sky rail tour of the Australian Rainforest. We had amazing views of the tropical plants and birds. We were able to walk on the path and take some pictures. The fern bucket plant was incredible.
We ended the night with swimming... some delegates crashed- as jet lag had done them in.... I slept like a rock!! We are up this moring and getting ready for breakfast. We will be heading out to the GREAT BARRIER REEF!!! So hello Nemo!
I hope to log in later to tell you all about the trip.
