The adventures began in Philly!

Ahh how naive I was to think that our adventures would begin once we got to Australia---nope they started with our very first flight, in Philly. I was standing in line for our Southwest flight, which was supposed to go straight to LA, when the two ladies in front and behind me started talking about making their connections to Reno when we landed in Chicago. CHICAGO???? uhhh we had bought, or so we thought we had, a direct flight to LA--there was no stop in Chicago!! Unless these ladies were going to parachute, we were not supposed to stop in Chicago!

After comparing tickets and finding we were indeed on the same flight, a bit of panic set in. At some point between the time we bought the tickets and that day Southwest added a stopover in Chicago! Thus the fun began!!

We did finally get to LA with plenty of time to spare. Got our bags and went to check in for the 3rd flight of our oh sooooo long trip to Sydney.

The bonus flight to Chicago, now puts our total flights for this trip up to 17!
