Got up early and had the complimentry breakfast at the hotel. There is a reason why it is complimentry (It was ****). Took Karens mum to Hollywood (Garmans Chinese Theatre, Kodak Theatre etc). We then headed off to show her Beverly Hills, Stars homes, Mulholland Drive etc. This took most of the day so about 4pm headed to LAX. As usual the LA Freeways were packed. Dropped the car off at the Rent a car and they actually had a driver take us to LAX in our rental so we didnt have to lug our luggage into the bus, that was good service (Avis). Got to Virgin Atlantic to drop Eileen off only to find her plane had been cancelled (She was at Terminal 2 and we were going from Terminal B). Virgin Atlantic managed to get her on a BA flight leaving from Terminal B at 21.30 (9.30 PM). The Qantas club let her in as my guest even though Karen was a guest as well. I dont think Eileen has ever been in an Airline Club before so definately was an eye opener.
As Karen and I boarded the plane Karen pointed out that Peter Morrisey was sitting just behind us. Had a loverly dinner and about 3 glasses of Red. Fell asleep about 1am and woke up about 6 or 7 hours later. Probably one of the best sleeps I have had on a plane.
Arrived in Sydney about 6.340am. The first class passengers must have been special as there were news cameramen waiting for them. The also had 3 x Audi Q7's waiting for them at the International/domestic transfer bus area. We boarded our Canberra based flight about 8.20. We wer still sitting on the ground on the flight at 9.30. Some warning light had come on as they were taxi'ing out. We finally got home about midday and we were shattered.
This years adventure is now over

Bye
