We are Home Again!

Traveling is fun. We left Vanuatu at 7 am Sunday morning, August 3 and flew to Brisbane. Since Air Pacific canceled out flight directly from Vanuatu to Fiji we had to take the trip back to Brisbane. After the 2 hour, 50 minute flight to Brisbane and a 2 hr 55 minute layover we flew out of Brisbane, back over Vanuatu and arrived 3 hours, 20 minutes later in Nadi, Fiji. We had a 5 hour layover in Fiji. Our flight out of Fiji to Los Angeles left Sunday night at 11:45. This flight took 10 hours, 25 minutes.

Here's the funny part, since we crossed the International Date Line, we arrived in Los Angeles at 1:20 pm - Sunday afternoon - 10 hours, 25 minutes before be left Fiji.

We spent two Sundays this week in airports or in the air! When we finally arrived home, I took and long hot shower and a nice long nap! Vacations are wonderful but there is no place like home.

I'll be posting more pics of the trip to the blog but I am giving serious thought to posting the whole photo journal to a website like Flicker or PhotoBucket. I'll investigate & post here where to find all the pics. For now, I'm going to rest and relax so I can recuperate.

What cha got in your wallet

Well, we finally did it. Applied and got a Capital One Credit Card. The only reason we got this card is for free airline miles. Used the card today. Charged our trip to Vanuatu. Boy, oh boy! Did this every rack up the miles! Too bad I don't like to fly.
