It is now 2:51AM Sydney time, or 9:51AM LA time. I am now home, and I am a bit jet-lagged… And in case you were wondering, yes, I have had some sleeep.

The shuttle to LAX was good. It was on time, and fast. I would recommend red vans again. I did leave from terminal 4 at LAX – and thanks to Qantas Club I got priority baggage. Also I got priority security screening which actually did not save much time. Then inside I went to the American lounge, and watched some simpsons on DVD until the flight.

On the flight I was sitting in 35H, which was the first economy seat on the aisle on the right ride. This did mean that the ride was not too bumpy, and made for a quick exit when we finally arrived in Sydney. coming over we did a southerly detour out of LA for some reason for a few hundred miles, and then just north of Fiji did a diversion due south and then due west presumably to miss turbulance.

I purchased a travel pillow in Target in LA, and I found it great for the flight. I found it fantastic – I would just snooze whenever I wanted. The flight timings worked well… We landed about 8:15. I rang my mother to get a lift home soon after that and she was at the international departures upstairs to pick me up when I got there.

Getting through customs and imigration was east. Imigration was a bit slow, but my bags came out about 2-3 minutes after I got through. Then customs needed to inspect something that I had purchased and then got a lift home. All very quick and painless.

Now all I need to do is go through emails and catch up on work.
