Day 1732: a miserable flight

we actually arrived in LA before we departed Sydney.  The time changes are disorienting and odd.  Our flight was scheduled for 10:20 am on October 2, Sydney time, and we arrived in LA at 6:30 am on Oct. 2.

It may have Ben the worst flight we have ever taken.  Thirteen hours, crammed into narrow seats with no leg room just three rows from the lavatory,  people hacking and coughing.  The man behind me coughed for ten hours and hit my seat with nearly every hack.  Then he and shi wife put their feet between the seats on to my arm rest.  Finally, I did something I have never done.  I complained.  The stewardess moved the poor young ladies not to him and me, told them to put their feet down and then I moved over a seat.  Stevens situation was just as bad with the woman in front of him.  It will be a miracle if we don't come down with the plague.

Colin picked us up at the train station and after a quick breakfast and shower, we slept for a few hours.  We've had a lovely day with them, but now, we're done.  Can't stay awake another minute.
