It’s just 5 days to go now until we take off to London, Paris and Berlin. I still have so much to get done this week before we leave. Today I am taking the scooter out for one last ride, gymming, tanning and laundry. It sounds like an episode of Jersey Shore. I can’t wait till Friday night and Chris and I head to the airport. It’s going to be so much fun!

Missing New York
It was a very quick and rushed trip to New York. It seems that I never have enough time there to do everything that I would like to do. I had a great time hanging out with my mate Jim there and running around Manhattan. I included New York in this trip for what some would say was a bit of a silly reason. I wanted one last ride on the Qantas 747 before they stop it’s service between LAX and JFK airports in July. It will be replaced with a smaller A330 plane (a continuation service from New Zealand). These 747s are getting quite old now and I would imagine that Qantas will start getting rid of them soon. This was the last 747 service from LA to New York. Sadly the crew operating this service were not a happy bunch.
Now that I am at home and back at work I am trying to work out how I can getting another long break to travel the world. I have very few holidays left at work, so I may have to be a little creative.

San Francisco Day 1
Just a quick post. I had a quick and easy ride from Melbourne to Sydney to San Francisco. I slept for 8 hours of the 13 hours trip over here. Along the way I saw Pam An’s very funny 2 hour comedy show in London on the Qantas entertainment system. It was the perfect program to watch on a long haul to the US. And good on Qantas for showing it considering it is all about making fun of the airline industry.
I am staying at the same guesthouse that Chris and I stayed in last year. I’m pretty sad that Chris could not come along. But within 3 hours of being here I had already joined Golds Gym (a 7 day membership pass) and met up with 3 friends. I have a feeling it’s going to be an interesting week here. I will post pics soon.

Trip Planning
I love the Qantas 747 but on the next trip to the USA in May I will actually get to fly on the Qantas A380 for the first time. This will be QF94 from LAX to Melbourne. I actually paid a little more to get onto this flight. The other flights are all on Qantas 747s and an American Airlines 767. The routing is:
Melbourne – Sydney – San Francisco – New York – Los Angeles – Melbourne
I will be staying for 6 nights in San Francisco and another 6 nights in New York. Can’t wait!
