First Couple of Days

July 2nd, the day we had been waiting for with anticipation and some hesitation of having to say good-bye for one last time, was finally here. Christian and Paige were excited to get on the plane and get going. By the time we hit LA, we were all a little loopy. We did have a small delay in LA and this led to the children being extremely tired and they were sliding off chairs in the airport like rag dolls. You could only laugh at how they were acting. They slept 5 of the 13 hours. They got a good 8 hours of movies and games. Just what they were looking forward to.

We made it to Brisbane on July 4th. The only thing we wanted to do was eat and burn the clothes that we travelled in. Dan finally found our van driver after some miscommunication as to where we were to meet. When we arrived at the Gold Coast, to my surprise, the van driver unloaded our bags on the side of the road and we had to roll and carry them up the stairs. Christian wanted to know where the gold cart was for luggage and so did I. Due to the pure exhaustion, I was wondering what I had got myself into. I didn't even know how to open the front door of the hotel/apartment.

Over all, looking back, this was our first of probably many challenges we will overcome. Here are a few pictures of our flight over hope you enjoy.
