The Wonderful World of Oz
We’ve arrived! Despite lost luggage (mine in Sydney, Carrie’s in LA), a plane malfunction, and a missed bus ride, we finally made it to Byron Bay around 1:30pm today. The flight from LAX to Sydney was delightful, as Carrie and I were allowed to move to the Economy Plus cabin where we lounged on three seats a piece. Not quite a plush bed, but more pleasant than spending 13 hours sitting upright. The bus ride from Ballina to Byron offered our first view of the lush countryside, abundant with brightly colored wildflowers and evergreens so perfect in shape they actually resemble fake Christmas trees. No Kangaroo sightings yet, alas. So now, after grabbing a couple traditional meat pies for lunch and taking a quick tour of Main Beach Byron, we are headed back to the Dolphins Motel to schedule our surfing lessons. We hope to hit the beach first thing tomorrow! Merry Christmas from Oz – Elizabeth

Sounds like you two are finally “getting to the good stuff” after hectic and long travel with luggage that can’t keep up. I’m quite jealous (in a good way) that you will be surfing in freakin’ Australia tomorrow. I enjoy your blog, so please keep making entries. You two stay safe and have a blast!! Amy
Oh, god…plane malfunction. My palms are sweating just reading about it
