Flights

 It's really good when you get somewhere but boy oh boy the actual getting there can be long/hard/annoying/painful.

Left home at 5.50 to catch bus to train station. It was raining, only slightly but we only had 350 metres to go. Halfway there Warren realised that he hadn't picked up his jacket, I continued with both bags while he went back.

Bus and two trains to the airport, plane to Sydney, wait for four hours then fly nine hours to Honolulu.  We had to collect our luggage to continue on. 

Bit strange that we had to go to an area where they weighed our bags, 11.4kgs and 10.4 kgs, mine being the lighter, put on tags then go across the room, looked like a large warehouse, to deliver our bags. 

Nine hours to next flight. Interestingly no arrival card to fill in, there or New York. Man did ask if we were carrying any food, no was the answer, I also told him that we watch Border Security, he had a chuckle, asked how long we were staying and that was it.

Jetstar flight was overnight and they don't supply blankets and pillows luckily I had packed some in backpack.

Nine hour flight to New York.

Pretty plane, we were twenty minutes late boarding due to catering but on time in New York.

Took an uber from airport, $$$ but we figured worth it, also paid extra to check in early.
