LA - Monday Morning

We now are in LA for the last day of the trip.

The flight from Maimi to Atlanta was exciting for some and scary for others.
There was a major jet stream moving over the country and we hit that not too long after take off.
The guy in the seat next to me, Matt, was crapping himself as the plane bucked its way north through it all. The little girl across the isle and up one row thought it was the greatest ride, even better then Disneyland and was laughing and yahooing all the time it was happening.
She was about 4 year old and was awesome. Many of the adults on the plane were letting out crys every time the plane dropped. After experiencing numerous bumpy landings in Wellington Airport, Joy and Myself took it in our stride.

We made LA almost 30 mins early after being delayed 20 mins at Atlanta so the jetstream was good from that perspective, but unfortunately the ground crew were not ready to receive the plane therefore by the time that was sorted we ended up leaving the airport around the same time we should have if the plan had been on time.

We got to the hotel and crashed for the rest of the night.

Its now 7:20am LA time (2:18am NZT Tuesday) Monday morning and we are about to head off to the California Science Museum for a nosy around. Our flight leaves LA at 11:30pm tonight, so we are hoping to make the most of the day.

Will be home soon enough and we both cant wait to see the kids!

Will update soon.
