We haven't got there yet, but we did give ourselves a long lead time for the connecting flights in LAX.
The flight over was quite pleasant. Kath dropped us off at the airport and came in to see us off. Thanks everyone for all the farewell calls. Probably best to just SMS us from now on to save costs.

VAustralia was very nice. As you know we managed to jag a special on Premium economy and boy are we glad we did. Nice seats - nice food - big screen TVs - lots of leg and seat room. We had a window pair to ourselves just in front of the engine. The flight was direct and only 12 hours. The only land we saw was Vanuatu, which we flew right over, and Hawaii off in the distance late at night. We watched a few movies and TV shows and had a catnap or two and we were here. Customs no worries. Nice folk. Had to wait an hour before we could check in for our SouthWest flight to Albuquerque but that is now done. Gate security for the domestic terminal is tight. Remove shoes, belts, jackets, pullovers as well as the normal stuff. Sometimes I think the terrorists have won. But everyone is helpful and it was no problem finding our way around the airport.
Now we just have to wait for a few hours for the next leg.
