The wanderlust has finally taken over and I have booked a trip to Australia. The visa I applied for allows me to stay for a year but the ticket I bought is only a one-way so my return date is up in the air still. I will fly out March 2nd from Green Bay, WI to Sydney, AUS. A lot of people wonder about the insane flight, so I thought I'd add in my itinerary.
Depart Green Bay, WI at 2:20 pm on March 2nd
Arrive in Chicago, IL at 3:18 pm
Depart Chicago, IL at 4:00 pm
Arrive in San Fransisco, CA at 6:43 pm
Depart San Fran at 7:45 pm
Arrive in Auckland, New Zealand at 5:45 am
Depart NZ at 7:00 am
Arrive in Sydney, AUS (FINALLY!) at 8:30 am...TWO DAYS LATER on March 4th.
For those of you who are confused about the 15 time zones I will cross, that adds up to 25 hours and 9 minutes of traveling, 22 of which are in the air!
Pretty crazy, right?
I don't have much time between flights but that is not what is worrying me now...instead I'm worried about packing...how do you pack for a year in one suitcase! When I went to Turkey I was allowed two suitcases so this should be interesting. Also, I will have a guitar as a carry-on which will only allow a large purse for my carry-on. Oh boy. Let the adventure begin.
More to come,
Emily
