Itinerary

Cindy and I bought our tickets for Australia a few months ago. We wanted to get in early before prices shot up too much further (we've been stung a couple of times in the past, buying our tickets too late). We managed to find some for a not too horrendous price (from STA) and we stopped thinking about it.

Then we received emails from the travel agent telling us that there had been schedule changes for our flights, could we please phone to confirm. But when we looked at the new itinerary, we saw that one of the changes had us getting to Chicago at 12.04 am and leaving for Indianapolis at 9.30 pm the day before! It took about a week for them to sort it out with the airline (United). We now have a temporally possible itinerary; we're just hoping they won't change it again!

Here 'tis:
20th December: Depart Indianapolis 5.32 pm (via Chicago and LA)
22nd December: Arrive Sydney

10th January: Depart Sydney 3.15 pm (via LA and Chicago)
Arrive Indianapolis 11.36 pm


So start marking your calendars!

Glad to know you are leaving at 532pm and not 530pm. I'll have to mark that down in my diary.

I will be in Sydney for festivus as well this year so maybe we can catch up and compare stories about stupid yanks.

Yes, Beryl, we should. We should co-ordinate with Dick'ed too.

What's the traditional date for putting up the aloominum pole?

It'll be good to see you for Christmas, your accent is slipping Mr Where's-the-money-for-the-rent-check! (Aug 10). I know delayed reaction ...I'm a bit behind on my blog reading.

How embarrassment!

Well, they might be leading me astray when it comes to conflating homophones but at least I still know the true meanings of words: when I go to a restaurant and look at the Entrée section of the menu, I still think to my self, "No, I don't want an entrée as well as a main, flick forward." Only to remember that Americans call the main course "entrée"!
