Off to Oz
I'm leaving for Australia in a couple of hours and will be there for the next week on business.
I'll check in from time to time as I have connectivity but no worries as BigF350 will be looking after things while I'm gone.
Regards,
Daryl

No dramas Daryl.
Keep us posted if you have any other days free.
You haven't flown from Melbourne, Australia to London lately have you???
They still stop off for fuel on route...

Made it in one piece - not a bad bit of traveling at all considering that it was just over 24 hours end to end with all the connections.
Actual flying time was right at 16 hours. 30 min from Carlsbad to LAX, 14 hours LAX to Sydney, and then 1.5 hours Sydney to Adelaide.
I'll check back in a little later after I freshen up.

I think that it's cooled down somewhat from the last few days because it isn't really all that bad to me - though folks here have been talking about how hot it is.
I've lived in a few hot and humid places before moving to San Diego so I can usually deal with the climate changes better than a true San Diego native

I forgot to look closely but I think it was something like $1.37/litre in Adelaide.
Any who, I'm back home now. Adelaide was nice as always, and the heat wave looks like the worst of it passed right before I got there because I thought the weather was fine the whole time.

Good to see you are back and that all is well - glad you enjoyed Adelaide.
$1.37 (US$3.89 a gallon) sounds about right, its a little less than that here at the moment, Adelaide is always a little more expensive.
In the Outback, prices push over $2.00 a litre for gas (getting close to US$6.00 a gallon), diesel is a little cheaper out there, probably closer to US$5.00 a gallon.
Wonder why I sold my 8-9mpg car???
