Thanks to Matt we had fantastic exit row seats leaving Perth and were able to keep our ourselves awake for the journey to Sydney.
It was then a 4 hour wait bit this gave us plenty of time to transfer from the Domestic to International terminals and do a bit of duty free shopping.
I am traveling with mum and dad at the moment. Dad is well over due for a holiday after missing the last couple unfortunately due to my injuries (which I don't plan on happening again!!) so has been looking forward to this trip for a long time. After spending the rest of the week in Hawaii we will be heading to Boise, Idaho where I will be based for the rest of the USA Summer. They will also spend a week there before heading back to Perth.
After a spot of duty free shopping in Sydney it was off to the Qantas Club for some lunch and a little relaxation before boarding our 10 hour jetstar flight to Honolulu. Normally I have no problems sleeping on planes, but for some reason this trip it was limited. I watched a few movies, ate plenty and drunk so much water I was a frequent visitor up front. But thankfully we have all arrived safely and our luggage!
Once we can check into our room a short afternoon nap is a priority to recharge the batteries and then I plan on tackling the gym for a light cross trainer session (hopefully only a week to go then I will test the running!) and a dip in Waikiki.
Paradise is grand! The sun is out and everyone seems to be either trying to get a tan or shopping. There will be plenty of time for that tomorrow.
Aloha from Hawaii!!
