An opportunity came up to head to Australia and I never want to say no to that.
Had a flight that went Minneapolis/LA/Sydney - the usual flight.
As I got to the MSP Airport the sky was looking grey and stormy. It had been a strange day all around - hot, humid and the threat of pending storms. The storm arrived about an hour before my flight. Left the airport in chaos and a delayed flight getting off to LA.
I missed the flight to Sydney.
Not many options - wait 24 hours or wait 9 hours and go through Hawaii. Finally, settled on the Hawaii option. There is a hotel at the end of the airport - so wandered down and got a bit of sleep.
First time to Hawaii and now know that airport well - nothing else but covered the airport on my layover.
And then off to Sydney. And rain here as well. So we circled overhead for over an hour but finally made it.
And to top it all off my passport didn't want to work in the "e-passport" machines so I got the "full search" of my bags after the red lights went on.
Ended up with a nice view of the Queen Victoria Building - a true gem.
38 hours later I am ready to go and enjoy my time in a spot a truly love.
