We said goodbye to a the girls parents and headed through the International Gates at the Terminal. We almost didn't get on the plane as the sniffer dogs took a liking to Ross's computer bag .... was their something you weren't telling us Ross ????
The plane trip was great, the person beside us on the plane had 2 daughters that go to Jets Gisborne !
We arrived in LA at 8.30am in the morning - 4 hours before we had even left Melbourne thanks to crossing over the dateline. Again the sniffer dogs almost didn't let us in to the country taking a liking to Isis's bags ... We even got pulled up by security asking us to delete a photo we had taken of us arriving at LA airport (in the customs secure area !)
We then jumped on another plane to Dallas, arrived safely and picked up our hire car.
Driving was a whole experience which will take some getting used to and we only drove on the wrong side of the road once.... but the girls were right on it. We checked in at the Hotel (really nice) - got a huge buffet dinner and finally got some good sleep.
