This is the first entry for our trip. We will be travelling to the US, the UK and then back through Thailand. We can't wait!
We got up at 410am and Nanny drove us to the airport. We flew into Melbourne and then got our business class boarding passes for Los Angeles. We were in 23EF and 23JK. The front row of the lower deck. We had pre take-off drinks and made full use of the massage function in the seat. The flight was about 13 hours long. I watched two and a half men, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Nickolodeon on Q. We had Lindt chocolate from the bar and a hot chocolate from our friendly crew. More later.........
