Follow Us in Australia!
[On location in Los Angeles International Airport]
Just in case it'll be awhile before I can write up another blog entry, I wanted to share the link to the blog that Ash, Tracy & I will be posting to about our missions/ministry work in Melbourne. The URL is http://www.christian-grads-in-australia.blogspot.com. I'll try to post here when I can, but to be honest, that blog will probably get updated more frequently, if not from me, then from Ash or Tracy.
Right now we're in LAX, and our flight to MEL boards in two and a half hours. Our flight from IAD made an unplanned refueling stopover in lovely TUL because the plane's center fuel pump was inoperative. They said the two fuel tanks over the wings are the main ones, and the center tank is just an auxiliary tank, but with that pump not working, they needed to get extra fuel to make it to Los Angeles. How reassuring! Other than that our travel day has been pretty smooth so far. I'm just super-tired from getting only three hours of sleep last night. I didn't get back from Indiana until 7pm, and then I didn't finish cleaning/moving out until 12:30am. After unloading my stuff at Hollemans, I then realized I forgot something and had to go back, so it was after 1:30am before I went to bed, and awhile after that before I fell asleep. 5:30am came wayyyy too early. I'm looking forward to a glass of wine or two at altitude knocking me out on the flight! I'm not exactly looking forward to being in a metal tube for 15.5 hours though (16.5-17 if you count early boarding and everything else), but it's worth it.
Australia here we come!

Doesn't look like you're dressed for winter.

That photo was taken a few nights before we left, but I still wore shorts on the flight down because it was more comfortable. Haven't gotten them out again since I got here though, it's only been in the 50s pretty much every day, and low 40s/upper 30s at night.
