hello, all. i am currently in los angeles with my family, leaving for fiji tomorrow night. sarah has joined me and it is quite good to see her and start making more concrete plans for our trip.
the weather has been gorgeous and it can only get better from here over the next 5 months. im stocking up on my food fixes which may be unavailable post departure and soaking up the california life with my crazy family.
for those of you who were worried about my hat situation, dont panic, it is under control. yesterday, i found a hat that will not only be good for sun avoidance but is also extremely cute. the best part of all is that it was cheaper than any of the hats i looked at in maryland! i shouldve known that the hats would be where the sun is.
our 14 hour flight departs tomorrow evening and im hoping that i can sleep for at least 13.5 hours of it. i have some sleeping aids but am just thinking that i can use my own gift for sleep to get through it. hopefully there will not be a full flight so i can take advantage of the middle seat for all of my stuff (which of course needs to be repacked after only being here since saturday!)
thats all for now, talk to you from fiji!

Hey Ruthie: By now you should have arrived in Australia - in one piece I hope! I've been there myself a few times and loved it. I wish I had the opportunity to give you advise to help tolerate long plane rides - quite simply, if I'm expected to arrive in the evening then I make certain that i'm up 6 hours before we land. Just work backwards towards your take-off time and figure out when you should be sleeping and when you need to be awake in 6 hour increments. Also, and most important, never drink liquor on a flight (a little beer or short glass of wine OK) and force yourself to drink water regularly. Bset, J. Dean
