Well, we finally headed off to the train station at 830 am to catch the 10 am Train to Brisbane, one of the capital cities with a international air port , arrived 41/2 hours later(high speed tilt train) The train body leans into the corners, like on a moter cycle.Our flight that was to leave Brisbane to Lax was cancelled so stayed overnight in a motel in Brisbane as our flight left at 630am for Sydney , an other capital city 1 hour south of Brisbane . In the morning caught a train to the international air port .
5 hours later caught the flight to Fiji ,( we were booked in to a broken flight). stayed there for 6 hours for our flight to Lax.
Got to Lax 8 hours later and just missed our connecting flight by 2 min due to the extremely long wait in customs, 4 jumbo jets had landed at the same time. The next flight to Dulles that had 2 vacant seats was in 5 hours .
After the 6 hour flight we arrived at 5 am. Our son was waiting and took us for breakfast at a very nice diner . When we got to his place in Pontamac Falls we went to bed and collapsed and had a 12 hour sleep .We could not sleep on the planes .. ........................Alan
