LAX - A day of rest before the long flight to Sydney

Well we arrived last night around 8 pm local time. Everyone was a little tired, yet we made it to the hotel around 10 pm. Obviously, the airlines didn't get all our bags to us in a timely fashion.  We had to wait for the last bag to arrive from CLT, then we boarded the shuttle to the Westin...Girls were excited about the heavenly beds and rainforest shower...Kristen jumped into the shower and complained that after an hour the hotel was out of hot water...lol.

Heavenly Beds (http://www.westin-hotelsathome.com/bed.aspx) will make you melt when you jump in.  After a few moments, everyone was sleeping.

Today is a day of rest, we leave for the airport tonight at 8:00 pm for our longest flight of the trip. The distance from LAX to Sydney is 7478 miles or 15 hrs. We leave LAX at 10:00 pm on Wednesday and land in Sydney early Friday AM.
