We had a nice sleep in and set off for Planet Hollywood in Times Square to pick up our New York Passes. These are great value for money as they allow the user free entry or reduced entry costs into a number of attractions as well as shopping discounts. We then headed down Broadway to check out the theatres and to find where our show will be. (We will be seeing Mama Mia on Thursday night.) Our next stop was Macys, which is reported to be the biggest department store in the world. We went looking for shoes figuring that…

The plane trip was long, very, very, very long. We spent the time watching movies, playing games and eating. Not very much sleeping was involved.

More and more people kept arriving from other planes and the…

Another question involves moral turpitude etc and ends ‘are you seeking entry to…
Day 1 Off to the US, Delayed Flight From Sydney
Monday, July 2nd, 2007 at
12:18 am
After a cold early morning start in Canberra at 6.50am we are still sitting at Sydney airport waiting for our flight to the US. We are surrounded by a contingent of young American students who are ambassadors of the People to People program. We are just amusing ourselves watching the endless stream of them going to the food vending machines. The flight has been delayed for another half hour so it looks like we won’t get away until after 11am now. Once we are on board, we settle down for the long flight to Los Angeles before continuing onto New…
