Virgins Rock

01-07-06
The big day is here! Hong Kong, here I come! I should probably feel nervous, but I’m quite calm at the moment. The flight from Melbourne to Sydney was nice. The person at check in attempted to charge me $300 for my luggage. Seriously!!!! I almost burst into tears on the spot figuring that I didn’t stand a chance at sweet talking this very pretty lady. Fortunately, she either took pity on me (or wanted to move the line along) and decided that if I promised to take my lap top out of my carry on and put it in my lap during the flight, that I could get away without paying anything. Her first suggestion was that I leave some things in Sydney. Right. I lugged all of this crap ¾ of the way around the globe to throw it away before reaching my destination. Regardless, she is my favorite person in all of Sydney right now. Well, Adam is still here, but he didn’t save me $300 today, so the check-in lady wins hands down. Off to my gate now!

Flight
Virgin Atlantic is the best airline ever! I’m not kidding! I watched three movies (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Monster-in-law) to pass the time. I didn’t even put a dent in the other 49 movie options. J The food was bearable and plentiful. Why can’t US Airways follow suit? What did you think I was talking about in the title? Jeez... mind out of gutter please!
