Making it to Melbourne

I made it to Melbourne! Our first flight from Mpls to LA appeared to start smoothly, but once we started to taxi, they realized a problem with the computer system so we headed backto the gate and said they "had to go to plan b and make some phone calls" I knew we where going to switch planes. And switch planes we did, about two and a half hours later we took off on a different plane. We made it to LAX with 45 minutes to connect to our next flight, we had to hustle. This is possibly the worst airport i've ever been to, having to walk a mile, go out side then back inside, check in, buy a visa, then dash to the gate.
I am very impressed with Quantas airlines. We rode a huge double decker plane. Each seat included pillow, blanket, tooth brush, tooth paste, eye mask, head phones, and a screen on the back of each seat with a variety of movies, tv shows, and music you could pick from. The food was excellent as well! For dinner we had chicken with cous cous and vegetables, lovely garden salad with balsamic vinagrette, roll, molten lava cake, and wine. Throughout the flight they gave out snacks-fruit, chocolate, trail mix, cookies and water, also hot towels. For breakfast we had spinach and vegetable frittata, muffin, fresh fruit and juice and tea.
Finally we landed, grabbed a bus and headed to our hostel. It is smokey here, looks like smog, smells like burning and sawdust. Hot too. Well thats all for now, cheers!
