And We're Off--Day 1

After a short night, I got up early to hurry and get ready to leave...today was finally the day--we would be heading to Australia! I was maybe a little too excited and we got to the airport waaay too early, so Dad and I took a quick detour to a couple of car dealerships before we actually drove in and parked. Thankfully, we found some other K-Staters quickly and chatted while we waited on everyone to arrive. Our trip started off with a nice long wait in line to get our bags checked...at that time, I didn't realize how long of a day I was really in for...we had flights from KC to Dallas to LA and then finally to Melbourne, AUSTRALIA...after 28 straight hours of travel!!
