It was an early start in the morning (6am pick up) but an easy 40 minute drive from Park City to Salt Lake City airport. An easy check in and flight (getting tired of being in the back row - don't think we'll Fly Delta again. Landed in LA mid morning and picked up our hire car and drove to our apartment near The Grove. We've got a great SUV, a Ford Flex, which has three rows of seats - a godsend for the kids after three weeks of travel. We went straight to th...

We woke to a less rainy New York - a quick stop off at Starbucks for breakfast and then our airport shuttle picked us up and drove us to JFK. It was a quick drive out to the airport and then a wait to board our flight to Salt Lake City. It was an uneventful flight however flying US domestic is very poor compared to Australia. We landed in snowy Salt Lake City and our shuttle drove us up to Park City in less than 45 mins - so easy. We checked into our condo an...

We said our goodbyes to Mark, Melissa and Max and Sam - it was lovely to see them and great to relax in their house. We jumped in the car and drove north to New York - the weather wasn't that great but it was a fairly easy drive through the Lincoln Tunnel to our hotel in West 34th street.

Got lost on the way and ended up in the ghetto of north central Phillie - amazing in a country of such wealth that there still exists places such as this. Finally arrived at Mark and Melissa's place. The kids we're very excited to play with Sam and Max . It was great...

We woke excited to be finally on our way. A quick breakfast at home, an easy transfer to the airport and we were on our way to LA. We were flying Virgin this time which was fine - not as good as Qantas in my opinion but the kids had a screen in front of them with plenty of movies to watch so they were happy. Unfortunately we landed in LAX behind a number of other aircraft so getting through customs and immigration took a long time. By the time we picked up our...
