At the Airport!

I am currently at my gate at the Melbourne Airport enjoying free internet thanks to Telstra. My flight to LA is, of course, delayed, as we're enjoying a rather foggy morning, though it's cleared up considerably since I first got here an hour and a half ago. I should still make my connection to Nashville fine - I'll just have less of a layover, which is fine by me. But they said that they were going to arrange new flights for everyone who would probably miss their connection and give us the details while we're on board. So I should be good either way.

I wasn't able to get a window seat, which is always my #1 preference, but I am at least in the aisle, which is better than being stuck in the middle of the middle section, which I'm sure would be yucky.

So anyway now I'm just trying to fill the two hours or so left until we start boarding!

A random thing that I thought was funny was that at the front of the airport, near where you check in, there's a suitcase store. When you're already at the airport, about to check in, I think it's a bit late to be buying a suitcase. Oh well.

Not sure what else to talk about. There goes a plane to Tokyo! I'm in a really great seat, facing the window that shows the runway. It's nice.

I just realised that I don't think I'm at my gate after all. I thought I was. But there's a sign over there saying that my gate is downstairs. But the escalator to get downstairs isn't moving. Hmm. I will have to investigate that sometime soon. But not just yet, as I am in such a very good spot.

Oh, I know something to talk about! Well, you know the status boards that say "Now boarding" or "Final call" or whatever? Well, for my flight, it said it wasn't leaving till 12:05pm and the status was "Relax." I was amused.

Ooh, look there's my plane! It's pulling into the gate. It looks like it's going to crash right into me! Hopefully it will stop before reaching the window. I think I'm right above my gate. So I just need to figure out how to get downstairs. Hopefully won't be too hard.

Hmm, what else to ramble on about. I am very excited about my in-flight entertainment system. Those pretty much rock. I wonder what movies they'll have? I hope they have High School Musical. They had it on my flight over in Feburary, so I decided to watch it, because I never had. But they turned off the movies when I still had about 20 minutes in the movie to go, because we had to go land. I mean, I can guess how it ended, but still, I'd like to see it.

Well. I guess I'll stop for now. This entry is sad and picture-less. Perhaps I will take some pictures using the laptop's webcam. Yes, I think I will!

Me!

The view in front of me. Unfortunately you can't really see out the window. Oh well.

The escalator that I think I need to go down. If only I knew how...perhaps I will investigate that soon.

Well, I guess that will do it. I may update again in LA if I'm bored and can get some more free internet. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you soon!! :
