G'day Mate!

Alright!

I made it in one piece... but it wasn't easy. My Icelandair flight to London was delayed an hour... ao I missed my flight to Hong Kong. The guy on the check-in desk for Virgin Atlantic was very helpful and let me make a fifteen minute phone call to the U.S., trying to get another flight straight away. It turned out that there was nothing available until exactly 24 hours later. So they booked me a hotel room at Holiday Inn... which was NICE!! So I got the same flight a day later. Turns out the only seat available was a Premium economy seat. ALL the legroom in the world and free champagne through out both flights, so I couldn't complain. The flight to Hong Kong took 12 hours and from there to Sydney took another 8. But, like I said, I made it one piece.

The band on board is awesome. The piano player, trombone player, trumpeter and alto player are all friggin awesome players. The tenor player and the bass player are really good, too. But those four are absolutely fantastic.

Anyway...

I'm in Melbourne tomorrow. And I have the day off. Swwwwwwweet!

Over & out,

Ellert.
