Ok Lets be square about this. I will tell anyone I am going to Australia for three weeks and Fiji for six nights on the return. More than they want to hear about, nodoubt.

But the hour draws neigh and I am not an experienced LD air traveller, not even an short distance air traveller. so here are my thoughts on surviving a International hemispherical trip.

All comments welcome.

Leave Colorado Springs @ 8:30 arrive Phoenix AZ then LAX at 5:00.

1030 depart LAX to Nadi Fiji, arrive at 5:30 aym

Leave Nadi at 1000 for Brisbane.

Arrive BNE at 1000.

I am traveling light. Snorkeling gear is the bulk of the check in baggage.

Have been told:

Bring water.

Drugs for sleep eye light blockers Funky eye shades ear plugs nose antibotics neck U inflatable pillows (bot one)

Have heard a bunch of different ways of dealing with jet lag which may be substantial on this trip.

Any one have some suggestions or comments

Hell its coming up fast this Tuesday. AGGGGGGGGGH

OH YES can some one tell me if I can bring knives in the checked baggage - I have some leatherman tools and a dive knife I would like to bring.

couple of good books, in paperback. couple of really boring magazines (the airlines actually supply them, and they are so sleep inducing). easy on the alcohol, unless it's late in the flight (nothing worse than a hangover with several hours to go), write your novel (finally!) and definitely have a sudoku workbook. I have never done a sudoku puzzle in 'real life', but I'm addicted to them when I fly. so much so that I actually missed a flight once, I was so engrossed.

as for knives, ask the airline in advance. don't let that be a problem at the gate. our opinion means nothing :)

sort your thrift shop underwear...............have a wonderful trip!!!!

Thanks KIKi

I plan on being the first 4um to post from fiji.

We'll see. I leave Tuesday arrive Thursday, in fiji and will prolly be too much in a daze to do anything, a five hour flight to Brisbane where my step brothers will pick me up.

Then I have three weeks in Australia,and on the return leg six nights in Fiji.
