Friday, March 10
After a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast we got the hotel shuttle bus back to LAX for our flight to Fort Lauderdale. Unfortunately after checking in we were informed that our flight was delayed by at least an hour - this was going to mean sitting around the airport even longer as well as not getting into FLL until about 10:30pm!
When we did finally board our plane and take off the pilot informed us that arrival time was going to be about 10:25pm, so we settled in as we couldn't do anything about it! We finally arrived, collected our luggage and then waited for our shuttle bus. It eventually arrived and we finally checked in to our hotel about midnight. As we arrived so late the restaurant and room service were closed, so we ordered Italian and were told it would be about a 45 minute wait - this turned into an hour and a half and we were starving! The food was good and we finally got to bed about 2:30am, but in West Coast timing it was only 11:30pm, so not too late a night.
Travelling certainly teaches you patience and to relax and go with the flow, but days like today seem like a waste - however sometimes you have to have days like this to get from one place to another. At least we arrived safely and it is a long way from Melbourne to Florida!!
