Economy…PLUS!


Nick and I were overjoyed when we discovered our tickets from Dallas to Brisbane were economy plus!  We had no idea this would be the case until we were plopped down in our spacious seats sipping champagne.  The flight was very comfortable - we had personal TV’s that folded out from the arm rest and were able to choose between movies, TV or video games to pass the time.    
We managed to stay awake for about five hours before we fell asleep, sleeping for six.  The time went fast…well, as fast as a 16 hour plane ride can go.  We landed in Brisbane at 5:00am and had a few hours to get through customs and find our new terminal.   
It was a fast one hour flight to Gladstone and when we arrived a CBI employee was waiting to take us to our new home.  It had technically been 39 hours since we last had not been either in an airport or airplane.
