Back In America Again! (Well LAX anyway)

Our plane just landed at LAX after almost 14 hours in the air. There were a few rough spots, but Virgin Australia is a class outfit with lots of room, service, and entertainment. We only had to wait a few minutes on the runway for a bunch of AA planes to take off and for a plane to be towed off a gate. We are here five hours before we left Sydney. Nothing like getting a second Saturday -- retired or not! :D. Unfortunately, we will be respending that time winding our way through customs and navigating the LAX labyrinth. More soon. :)
