Sjanie Beyond The Shire: The trip so far

What an adventure this has been already! Before this trip I had never flown....so getting use to the airports took a little bit. But as soon as I was flying I realized how beautiful the sky is from up here!

We spent many hours up there, and I had a window seat in all of my flights, so I did take lots of sky/cloud photos.

Airplane food isn't all bad, despite what some people say.

All of these things help the time to pass while flying.....

The first lay over was in Texas, and it was for 10 hours, so we found a hotel had had time to sleep. We got up bright and early the next morning to continue on. The next leg of the journey was suppose to be a 13+ hour flight to Guam. But when we showed up at the airport we realized that, contrary to what our itinerary said, we were going to make a stop in Honolulu. Even though it added a few hours to our trip, Hawaii is a beautiful place!

There were palm trees in the middle of the airport.

And there was a golf course right beside the runway

My first time seeing real mountains!

This place is great!

We were only in the airport long enough to find our next gate and then we were on our way again. When we arrived in Guam we had to race to catch our flight...we made it just in time! And Finally at 12:15 we arrived here in Cairns! It is such a beautiful place!

I am very excited to spend lots of time with this little lady! And, of course, all the rest of her family too.
