LAX Outbound

From Becky...

Well, we've made it as far as LAX - not the most attractive airport I'm afraid. We're getting pretty familiar with terminal #3, however, since we arrived at about 2:30 PM and our flight to Sydney doesn't board until 9:25 PM. What we've learned so far: there are virtually no directional signs at LAX and we've seen only one map, but there are people in uniforms walking around (cleaning staff, people with clipboards doing who-knows-what, etc) who, fortunately, are very friendly and helpful. As a result, we made our way from terminal #6 where we landed to terminal #3 where the Virgin gates are located. What else have we learned? Starbucks is even more expensive here than at home, and the price goes up the closer one gets to the gate!
 
Reading, walking around, people-watching and feeling grateful for this amazing opportunity is filling the time nicely. I am getting a bit tired of being reminded by a disembodied voice that I need to stay attached to my baggage, however.

Until "tomorrow" in Australia...
