The Day Has Finally Come

The day has finally come, the 4 divas are on their way down under.  Wheels up 3:00 pm EST.  Off we go into the wild blue yonder on a Citation XLS, flown by Brian and Kirk.  They have proven to be excellent chauffeurs and for some reason the rarely venture back in the cabin.  Perhaps the 4 divas are a little scary?  The plane is a little heavy in the rear with 16 pieces of luggage, yet we are currently traveling 480 mph, at an altitude of 40000 ft. 


Back on board for the final leg of luxury to L.A.  Thirty seconds after takeoff, we were looking at the Grand Canyon off of the port side of our plane.  The sun was setting so the photos aren't that great, but it was still spectacular as the sun just touched the rims of jagged edges of the red rock. 


Kiki still doesn't know how long the flight to Sydney will be.  For that, we are grateful.  I think she is almost believing the flight will only be one hour and ten minutes from LA to Auckland.  :)


Three words:  Duty Free Shopping!!!!




We are now in LA, awaiting our flight to Auckland, then on to Sydney!!
