Not Quite in Oz

We left home around 6 am and got to the airport shortly after 9 am.Thanks to Renee we don't have to leave our car in Halifax. Uneventful flights to Chicago and LA. Flying Business class is awesome especially with the better seats and real meals. We were scheduled for a 5 hr wait in LA which extended to another hour delay due to something wrong with the computers that give the fuel readings. They eventually started loading the 374 passengers and those in Business class were first. Wow what comfort. We were in little enclosures and the seats lay flat. We were given little packets with comfy socks and eye masks, large pillows and blankets. Our TV's have remote controls. After settling in we were served champagne, orange juice and water.Traveling economy class will never be the same again because now I know how the other side lives. Now we are all set for the 14 hr flight....except the Captain came on and told us the problem with the computers was back so we were gong to be staying in LA until the following night.The plane with our luggage is being sent to San Fransisco to be repaired,so off we go back to the terminal. They separated us in different groups (I think by ticket class but not sure) and we were sent by shuttles to hotels for the night with late checkout at 7 pm the following day. We were also given food vouchers for breakfast and dinner. We're at the Hilton. Don't mind it at all as I was really tired from not sleeping the night before and I had been awake for over 24 hours.I did place a call to the Marriott in Sydney to advise them we would be a day late arriving as this was booked by priceline and if we did not show up by the scheduled the entire 6 night stay would be cancelled.They assured me we would be ok. I sure hope so.Had a great night's sleep & now I'm raring to go again. Til later mates
