Second Place is the First Loser
Does anyone really lose when you race to Australia? The answer is yes. Yes they do. And that person is me.
I made it on the 10am flight out of Hawaii as the last standby passanger. After me, they told everyone else it was full, which stranded the lady I was staying with and her baby in Hawaii. But no Karma-gathering this time, I was on that flight! And what a dodgy flight it was. Further delays leaving etc then when we went to land it took 2 tries to hit the runway. It was so windy when we finally hit the tarmac that the plane nearly tipped over. I fly a lot (19 times in the last 7 months) and even I was scared.
But I made it and what a race it was. 3 continets, 71 hours of travel, 2 hotel rooms, 3 flights all leaving me ABSOLUTELY EXHUSTED. I am off to get a beer and some food and hopefully find the victor. Thanks to all who followed so closely.
