An Epic Air Journey

The crew coming out of Washington, DC overcame the following:

A 1-1/2 hour rain delay out of Dulles, which would have been okay, except:

We were stuck on the tarmac at LAX for 30 minutes because a broken down plane was at a gate and they wouldn't reassign us a new gate, which caused us to miss our Sydney connection. The people at Discovery were great and managed to book us on a later flight to Melbourne, except:

We only had 15 minutes to make the Melbourne flight and it was in a different terminal. They had a shuttle bus that would have gotten us there on time, except:

and so it went on and on for the next 30 hours. It is a testament to the fortitude of our kids that we all arrived happy and helathy and are now rested. Our luggage is due later today along with the GPS Spot that will plot our course,
