... the dump station, or pay $10 to have a mobile one come to you.

Our Last Day in the USA
... into the Japan Airlines lounge (who share with Qantas as they have no lounge in SFO), where we had some sandwiches to hold of the hunger pains until fed on the plane and compared trip storeis with another Aussie family waiting for the same plane.
Finally we boarded for our 11.10 pm flight to Sydney. Dad was asleep before the plane taxied to the airport, and Callan and Ashleigh weren't far behind. We all caught a bit of sleep on the 14 hour flight ...
