The Virgin Blue flight was only 5 hours. Peace of cake, as Moggy said. We landed on Runway 21, winds 240° at 7 knots, 39°C, that is C as in Centigrade. The thing to remember is 20-30 is good and 39 is not between 20 and 30. It is outside the good range and inside the HOT range. I figured it out and it is 102.2°F. That is too hot, I will just go back to thinking it is outside the good range and inside the HOT range. Feel better.
The landing time? 1340L
24 hours to the minute after I boarded Delta 17 at Terminal 5 in LAX, I stepped off Virgin Blue 557 in Perth. 24 hours and 16 time zones! It is 8 hours from now, but yesterday, at home. I have missed the second of January. It is gone, forever gone! On the other hand, I will get a time refund to use on the return trip.
The Langstaffs are here to meet me. What a site for sore eyes! Speaking of sore eyes, that is about the only part of me that is not sore. I feel like weasel spit. Not only am I perilously short of sleep, but I have a sore throat, a cough and the like! I bet the Langstaffs are looking to see if I have a curly tail! (Swine flu).
Anyway, nothing that 24 hours of continuous sleep won't put right.
