Lots of changes at the airport since I worked here in 2010 at a car rental. Parked in garage. It was so full I had to park on the roof. At least I was by the elevator so can find car easily. Security didn't like my knee high boots so had to take them off. Flew to Dallas Airport before flying to Australia then Tasmania Longest flight was 17 hours. Large airports look like malls with many shops from cosmetics to clothes to jewelry to toys to souvenirs and dozen restaurants. Had to take trains to another terminal.
Landed safely in Melbourne and lost a day crossing the International Dateline. Had to collect baggage, exchanged my money, then go through customs where they put cans in our luggage straps to help train their dog. Cute dog, maybe golden retriever type. Next had to exit the terminal going outside and enter the next door over for Domestic flights. Dropped bag since tagged and have boarding pass. Then go through security and find my gate to wait for flight.
Landed safely in Hobart, Tasmania. Took a bus to my hotel. Then was so exhausted I had to take a nap. Woke up and there was a shooting in Sydney at a Hanukkah Celebration. People asked me if I was at the event or in the city. Um, no, I was in my hotel hundreds of miles away. And I don't attend Jewish celebrations being a Christian. So sad. I do fly to Sydney on my way back in a week. Photo is a sunrise over the Pacific Ocean.
