What a day! After feverishly packing after a final exam review for students, I embarked upon my trip at 6 am from Indy. I was on the same plane from Indy to LA with a stop in Minneapolis. Then, I endured a long layover in LA. Nothing like the LA airport for stress, I always say. But, finally, my plane for Melbourne was ready to board passengers. I flew V Australia, another spinoff of Virgin Airways. What a super plane! We actually had comfortable seats with our own TV screen and every imaginable entertaintment--20 movies, 20 TV programs, and video games. But, sleep overtook me fortunately. 16 hours later we arrived in Melbourne. With a change of planes, I boarded the plane for Adelaide. Finally, upon touchdown in Adelaide and 40 hours later from Indy, I arrived in Adelaide.
On to Hostel 109 where I stayed. Yes, students, a hostel. Who says age need be a barrier! It was super nice with free Internet, a great kitchen, and a clean room. I arrived in Adelaide on November 25, 2010 which is ahead of Indy time. Go figure the time difference! Then I slept most of the day on Friday, November 26. When in doubt, SLEEP!
I'll sign off.
