Sydney to Brisbane ...

Smooth travelling so far, leaving a soggy Sydney early this morning for a short stopover in the sunshine state. Check in was the usual cheerful Qantas style and our bags are LA bound - hopefully we will be able to find them at the airport there.

In Brisbane now and grateful for a comfortable seat and a glass of wine in the lounge - in our soon to be USA time zone it's after 5 in the afternoon, so we're getting in the zone a little early!

We're travelling with bigger suitcases than our usual carry-on size, planning some walking in the national parks between San Francisco and Denver - and maybe some shopping as well if we can't resist - but first we're taking the fabulous ocean drive between LA and San Francisco. I can't wait to get my camera out!
