#1: Not off to a great start...
6.15.2018
As typical Florida summer weather goes, the skies opened up at MCO just in time to delay our flight almost two hours. Normally, that wouldn't be so bad, except our layover in LAX was only 50 minutes! Not only did we miss our LAX to Sydney connection, but we had to wait 24 hours for the next flight! Fortunately, because we missed an overseas connection, we got a free hotel room for the night. Frustrated and a little tired, we finally made it to our room around 2 a.m. and passed out.
When we woke up, we wasted no time planning a day out in LA while we were stuck in town. First stop: In N Out, of course! We ended up sharing an Uber with a super awesome guy on our same flight who happened to be a biologist from Sydney! After lunch, since we've been to LA before and did all the typical tourist spots, we headed down to Venice Beach for the day. We walked along the shops, watched a couple comedy street shows, and enjoyed a beautiful California day! Once back at the hotel, we were able to meet up with my aunt from Santa Monica at our hotel for hellos and hugs. We're now getting ready to head back to the airport and finally get on our final leg to Sydney! Stay tuned!
