g'day
Greetings from Down Under.
I've just woken up from my rather debilitating experience of flying ACROSS THE FUCKING OCEAN. My advice to anyone that wants to fly to Australia is...
Sedatives.
Or at the bare minimum, try to get plenty of sleep before the flight. Don't go there right after work. Barring that, fly first class. Those motherfuckers had cocoons, I swear. Walking through first class was like going through a shitty utopian sci-fi epic set. I kept waiting to see the old, fat, rich, white guy emerge from first class as a fit and trim 20 year-old in a crisp, freshly cleaned and pressed suit. Ah, capitalism.
But, I'm here now.
Morgan, much thanks for all your help getting to the airport and all. Of course, it looks like I didn't need to be there that early anyways. I wasn't allowed to even check in until after 5. Apparently, the Des Moines International Airport opens at 5am. Which must make the 5:30 flights interesting. 'Arrive 3hrs prior to departure' my ass.
Things here seem to be going well. But of course it's only been 12 hours, and most of that was spent sleeping.
I don't know how much I'll be able to get online, although I will be able to get on some. I'm using a Telstra Wireless hotspot, costs me about $10 for an hour. So about an hour a night, possibly. I'd be willing to spend that. Heh. Although, I can't recharge my laptop here unless I find some sort of adapter for the grounded plug (don't ask) so.. I've only got 2hrs of battery on the laptop anyways.
Regardless, there's cybercafes and shit. I'll find a way to let you all know what's going on, whether you want to or not.
We'll do Boggy Creek when I get back in two weeks.
Whorehoppers.
