round the world and back again

Photograph of the LAX sign at the Century Boul...Image via WikipediaWell, I'm back at home now (although suffering from the heat!) - in the last two weeks I've been to Dallas for the yearly conference with work, then a quick detour via UK and Dublin, before returning to Sydney - via Dallas.


SYD->LAX->DFW->LHR->DUB  ->LHR->DFW->LAX->SYD


I can confirm that American Airlines have the oldest staff, planes, and entertainment system out of any that I've flown on an international flight with. That said, the flight from DFW->LAX did at least have LCD screens instead of CRTs, with a half decent film to while away the hours (The Social Network - quite enjoyed it).


On the plus side I missed the snow in Texas now, and it was above zero C in the UK and Dublin (although it often didn't feel it!).


Travel back was 36 hours or so, and arrived at Sydney International Airport on time, Sunday morning. Through immigration quickly and then had to wait ages for the luggage. Sigh. 


Melbourne the next day seemed quite a short hop!
