Default I fly today!!!

I would just like to thank all the new friends and mentors that I've had the pleasure of meeting through this forum.

I fly to Sydney tomorrow and arrive on Saturday! I elected to fly with Air New Zealand via LA becuase they offer a generous 46Kg luggage allowance for Economy (no need for migrant flights) - My legs may drop off due to DVT (26hrs in the air, 35hr journey), but at least I'll be well dressed

All of my best wishes are extended to those still waiting on a decision - be patient, your time will come.

Best,

AA
