Homeward Bound-Los Angeles-Sydney

We were nearly an hour late leaving, but we were still getting in the same time. We were all very tired, so as soon as our meal arrived we settled down to get some sleep. Brodie fell asleep before they cleared away the trays. I think he woke up 8hrs later. We had lots of babies around us and they did pretty well. Heard them cry a few times but over all you didn't hear them. Kellie & I probably slept close to 6 hrs. Then we just dozed on & off for the remainder of the trip. The meals were nice again and plenty of snacks to help yourself to. Brodie was actually sitting in my seat and in the last 1hr of trip he found a card that said it was special seat and ask for a treat. After filling out our declaration forms I look at it and there was a birthday message for me. That seat also had a first class toiletries pack which Kellie had claimed earlier. So that was nice. We were put in a holding pattern for awhile and when we landed they didn't have an air bridge for us so we had to exit by stair case then bus to the terminal. The A380 hold about 500 passengers and the buses hold 40 passengers. So the top deck emptied first then it was our time. All the people around us all had connecting flights as well. I didn't think we were going to make it. Getting through customs was pretty easy and everything well signed posted. We just had to queue for everything, we made it to our gate with 5 minutes to spare. We were all hot and bothered by this stage and finding the humidity hard to cope with.Read more
