2/14/15 Melbourne, Australia

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  Well, we are still fumbling our way to our destination.  Our flight took off last night (Thursday - remember we lost a day) on time.  We traveled on an Airbus, which was huge!  The problem came at the end of the flight.  Because of possible thunderstorms predicted in Melbourne, the pilot determined that we would have to land in Sydney to refuel just in case we would have to circle before landing in Melbourne.  The fueling took an hour so by the time we got to Melbourne and got through passport control and customs, we had missed our flight to Tasmania.  We eventually got re-ticketed, but have to wait four hours for our flight.  We are all a bit exhausted and punchy, but it is good to be here and the next leg is just a short one hour flight.  It is 80 degrees outside and a bit humid, but it sure does beat the single digits at home!
