Woke up to a nice sunny day in Southern California. Wish I didn't have to leave home during the three-day weekend, but had to in order to get to my meeting ontime in Australia.

Tony drove me to LAX to board my Qantas flight. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a window seat, and there was nothing available except my aisle seat! I inquired about possibly upgrading to 1st or business class and was told this would cost $10,000 ONE-WAY!!!!!!!!!!!! So crazy. I could hire a private yacht to take me to Melbourne for that amount.

Anyhow, flight was fine. Qantas has 3 inches between seats, and it seems everyone was going to Australia in the off-season this Saturday evening. The plane ride was VERY VERY long...In the first hour we the captain got on the speaker and asked if anyone on board was a medical professional...
