Got into LAX around 7pm local Qantas flight was scheduled for 1030 that night. Of course the plane broke down and they had to fly in a part from Australia. Finally boarded the plane at 130 am. then the rather dumb young lady sitting behind me made the mistake of asking for an airsickness bag. That prickled the flight attendants radar and next thing she knows she's being kicked off the plane for not being well enough to fly. Well of course in our post9-11 world her bags now have to come off too. SO we wait for them to open the cargo hold back up and find her bags. Finally take off around 230. 14.5 hours later We arrived in Sydney Australia. It was approx 10am local time Wednesday when we landed. Unfortunately our connecting flight to Christchurch left at 8 that morning. The next flight out wasn't until 630 that night. Qantas took care of us though put us up in a hotel for the day bought us lunch and a shuttle to and from the airport.
After close to 15 hours on a plane I was just a bit exhausted and too tired/stupid to figure out how to operate an alarm clock. So of course I overslept and missed the shuttle bus. Woke up with only an hour til flight time. Somehow made it to the airport and made my flight though YAY!! 3 hours and 2 more time zones later finally got into my hotel in NZ about 1 am local time. So yeah jsut a bit of a grueling day.
