Nanker Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm in EWR now waiting in the United club with wifey for the flight to LA. Second (15.5 hr) leg gets us to Aussieland on Thursday AM. Go ahead and feel free to hurl rocks, bottles, epitaphs, and advice my way. We're planning on going to the Blue Mountains one say and an off shore fishing trip another. Had too much work crap - and getting the boat ready to launch in Keyport to do much of planning for this vacation. Left that up to wifey. This should be innarestin'.

Maury Ballstein Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I hear the women of Australia love Americans and move fast if you know what I mean. Any way to lose the wife on one of those layovers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Corporal punishment is a common practice. The flag says it all. My friend got caught with drugs. Luckily he was able to plead down from a booting on his bare bottom to a swift kick with a wing tip. Pants on, I might add.

boyst Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Make sure you get up and walk around on the plane as not to develop any clots. It may sound silly but it happens a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 That sounds like teleporting! It was the weirdest thing. Almost to the minute! I told my wife "I'm not getting off this plane. Keep flying east at the same speed. We'll never age!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I did a lot of traveling across the Pacific in the 70's & 80's. Swore off it, waiting for supersonic airplanes. 12-14 hours is about 6-7 more that I can handle. I thought that was a reasonable assumption in the 70's. Now 40+ years later they want you to fly on a freakin 737. 737's were new in 1967. What happened to new ideas and innovation? I won't fly on the plastic 787, for a whole list of reasons.

Just Jack Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 San Fran to Hawaii to Auckland NZ to Sydney. Was that the way you went? Two stops? When I went it was direct from LA to Sydney, then on the way back, direct from Auckland to LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
