NOVEMBER 2, 2010 AUSTRALIAN VACATION

Tuesday morning we set out from Iowa towards Chicago for a series of very long flights. Time and weather were good so we stopped in Monona, WI for lunch.

Arriving in Chicago we checked in at a Comfor Inn park and fly. This is Stephanie taking care of business....
In the van.

Killing time and money in O'Hare airport.

Hungry and not entirely jazzed for the flights ahead.

We made it to L.A. and are now staging for the serious journey.

Now look who's not jazzed.
