So after 2 hours of Duty Free shopping it is nearly boarding time. Check list for the 12 hour flight. Music, check, laptop with movies and tv show, check, magazines, check, the true story of Jordan Belfort - The wolf of wall street, check, neck pillow, check. We think we are set for this flight. Will say hello to LA for all those stuck in Australia!! Bring it on!!!! TheLowBrothers

So it starts here... The first flight, Canberra to Sydney to catch our flight to LA. We are off to a great start! Upon check in we found Byron now has a Silver Qantas membership which when we ask the nice lady, means we get to bring 10kg more luggage... At no extra charge (score!). This must be a sign to go nuts with shopping in America! Downside so far is it is an international flights is you have to be 2 hours early...... Gay. Either way we guess that gives us ...
