LAX to BNE to CBR


Spent the morning doing some last-minute shopping and packing. Lunch with Mom at Souplantation and a quick stop at Costco. Said our goodbyes to Mom in the afternoon and drove out to Santa Monica. Walked to Santa Monica place where kids played a bit, ate pizza and frozen yogurt. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Back on the road. Took side streets to LAX. Returned the minivan and took the shuttle to Tom Bradley International Terminal. N was not feeling well. Once at the gate he laid down and fell asleep. Whereas C still had so much energy and ran many times up and down the terminal. Last dinner at Panda Express before boarding our 13-hour flight to Brisbane.

Was a good and restful flight compared to the one going to LAX from Sydney. Had decent sleep. But Phil and I were forgotten when meals arrived. Watched a few movies and kids didn't eat much. Brisbane airport not much better than Sydney. Still had to take a bus to the domestic terminal after re-checking in our bags. Arrived in CBR early but last ones out of the plane because C had to go to the toilet after landing. Greeted by Dad at baggage claim and had a nice ride home. Struggled to stay up until usual bedtime. Kids in bed before 7pm and us about 8.30pm.
