Getting to OZ

Part of the idea of traveling to OZ/NZ now was to escape our winter (and enjoy their summer). Check. We left snowy Portland early Saturday.

The flight for Sydney left at 22:30, so we spent our stopover in San Francisco with friends. We got to their place just before noon -- perfect Mimosa time.

We flew in an Airbus 380. They're huge. We were in row 73; there were a few row behind us. We slept well enough on the flight and arrived just before 08:00 to a beautiful Sydney morning. You can see the tail of our plane with Sydney in the background.
