Hello one and all, there will not be photographs in this posting, as 1. we have not yet taken any, and 2. Weggie's camera is playing up, but there will be photo's soon!
Well we caught the flight from Melbourne at 12:00 on Thursday 27th, Air New Zealand with a 2 hr stop over in Aukland before we transferred to a connecting flight to San Francisco.
11hrs and 50 min's later we got through customs only to discover that my suitcase (purple with flourescent pink strap) has (we hope) been left behind in Aukland.
So instead of spending the afternoon in bed recovering from the flight like we planned, (which i really needed considering i wasn't feeling the best after the flight), Weggie and I had to hoof it all over inner city San Fran looking for clothing stores, Walgreen, and other such places where necessities can be found.
All i can say is that we have left the first afternoon free in our schedule other wise we would have been put completely off from the very first day!
As it was, by the time i had all the things i needed for a couple of days without my luggage (fingers crossed that it will arrive today 28/07/2006), and we headed back to our hostel, it was about 10:00pm. So... over 24 hours without sleep... i was ready for bed!
