So my third travel day is hard to remember now, but I'll briefly talk about it. I waited in LA for 5 hours before taking a 10.5 hour flight to Fiji. It wasn't too bad. Sat next to a nice Aussie girl with a cold, luckily I did not catch it. I waited in Fiji for four hours before taking a five hour flight to Sydney.
Getting through customs was easy. The only question the guy asked me was "Sure are a lot of Americans on that flight?" That was pretty much it.
I went directly to the cell phone store and the bank and set up an account and got a mobile phone.
My friend Curt York from Keene has been hosting me since I arrived. He showed me a wild and crazy weekend in an annual "Fridge to Fridge" where 80 men ride bikes around town to different homes, with a Victoria Bitter beer waiting at each stop. I only have a couple bruises.
I'm in an internet cafe now because my laptop isn't ready to go here. I bought all these adapters and plugs, yet the one plug I forgot was a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter. I couldn't believe that Radio Shack would sell something that only takes 2 prong. Oh well.
I'm most likely heading out on Wednesday or Thursday to do some traveling around the country.
Thanks for the comments. Back soon. Ry
