We booked our flights with Qantas to travel to Australia this fall to see our friends in Melbourne! We're leaving Friday night, September 25th and will arrive in Melbourne Sunday morning the 27th. We'll stay there until Monday October 5th, when we travel to Sydney for a few days. Then we leave Sydney on Saturday, October 10th and arrive back in Seattle the afternoon of the 10th, due to the time zone difference. We will connect in Los Angeles both times.
I've never been on a plane for longer than about 5 hours straight, so we'll see how I do on a plane for 15 hours! Each seat on a Qantas flight has a TV in it so you can watch movies and stuff, so that should make it a little less boring.
I've been getting really excited just from looking at stuff to do there! It'll be a really long, awesome trip. I can't wait!
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

I've also got a portable DVD player if you need it! It was a total blessing on the way to Boston and that's only a 6 hour flight.
I may have to take you up on that offer! :)
You really won't need the portable DVD, the Qantas TV service works great!
I am looking forward to having you guys over here.
You wrote you have been looking at things to do, so I was wondering if you could share with us what attractions those would be.
I'm so jealous! I want to go to Australia someday. I bet it's a pretty expensive flight! What plane type are you on (you knew I would ask!)? I'm guessing it's a 777 or 747.
Sofia - We'll have to research it a little more. I just briefly looked over a list of the top things to do in Melbourne and Sydney. But when we have some more definite ideas, we'll be sure to let you know!
Megan - It's pretty awesome, I almost feel spoiled when I tell people we're going to Australia for two weeks! It was fairly expensive, but we got a good deal since airfares in general have gone down in price and we're not going exactly during peak season.
Haha, I should have known you'd ask about the plane. We're taking a 747 between LA and Australia and then a 767 from Melbourne to Sydney in the middle of the trip. Then just regular 737 between Seattle and LA.
