Flight Itinerary

Here is a copy of my flight itinerary - covering all ten flights from Hartford to Australia and back.

The five flights in July have me hopping around the States and Australia. I leave Saturday morning from Hartford on my first Southwest flight to Baltimore, where I will meet up with Val, who will join me on the flight at 10:30 a.m. to Orange County in California. We will spend that night with my aunt and cousins, who live nearby the airport. The following evening we will be driven to LAX, where we'll board the plane on which we will spend more than half a day - taking off just before midnight Sunday and finally landing in Australia early Tuesday morning. We have a layover in Brisbane before hopping on another Qantas flight up north to warmer weather in Cairns. After a four day AustraLearn orientation and a reunion with Natalie and Chris we'll head back down to Brisbane. Flying around will finally be done with for a while.
