LA finally

We got to LA without any problems.  We are now waiting to get on our flight to Sydney.  Just met a very nice couple from Brisbane - they just spent 5 weeks in the US and have been from coast to coast.  They have all ready given us hints - the one we really like is no tipping in Australia.  Dale liked that one.  So here we go -14 hours in a plane and then we get to see our loved ones.
