The trip to Brisbane, Australia was supposed to begin on January 1st, 2010, at 11:30pm. After an odd gate change with a flight headed to Melbourne, my flight was delayed until 1:50am (at least) for a "mechanical issue". At 12:20am we were told that the flight was going to be delayed until 1:00pm the following afternoon. People in transit were given hotels for the night, and I went home (thanks Amy).
We returned to the airport that morning (thanks Amy), went through security, and went to our supposed gate; only to be told that we had to walk to another terminal, and get re-booked onto 1 of 2 flights leaving that evening - It was January 2nd. Some travelers were booked onto, essentially, the same flight...the rest of us were booked onto a flight into Sydney, where we would catch a connection to Brisbane after we landed, cleared customs, went through security again, and took a bus ride to another terminal. Sounds fun huh?!
I landed in Sydney, Australia on Monday, January 4th, hopped onto another plane up to Brisbane, then caught a train down to the Gold Coast where I was met by some of my teammates (thanks Allison and Nate).
The training & tune-up have begun!
