It turned out to be lovely snowy day on Monday. Perfect for staying at home and staying warm and safe. And definitely not the time to get on a cross-country flight that you then need to transfer to an international flight from.
Of course you could always need to leave then and start a trek to Minneapolis. My mom and dad and brother Ben came with me and I was grateful for the company. I also brought along this little guy, a stuffed key chain snowman as a memento from home. According to his tag, his name is "Cole".
Luckily, my plane wasn't delayed at all and I began my first flight from MSP to LAX. I had a window seat, which led to some lovely views (as seen below), but I think I was sitting right behind the engine, because it was quite loud. There was also someone with a severe peanut allergy on board, so no airline peanuts.
My second flight from LA to Sydney was delayed slightly, which was nice for me, because I had a bit of a lull between rather than a rush from one plane to the other. I don't have any pictures from that flight as I was in the middle of the plane and you would've only seen backs of heads. I thought we were only getting one meal on that flight, but ended up having three, which were pretty good.
We landed in Sydney on schedule, but had to wait 4 hours for others to arrive before we could take our taxi. I am now in the apartment where I'll be leaving for the next few months. Below is the view from where I am now. I may post a more comprehensive layout later. For now, It's a humid ~76 degrees with on and off thunderstorms.
