I think this hotel must be where all the Aussies end up, there've been a few come through since we sat down about an hour & a half ago.
I have about 15 minutes to go before we get on the shuttle. No idea when we'll get to the airport, I'm kind of hoping it'll take about an hour this time, kill some time. As long as we can check in by 7:30pm I'll be happy.
This morning we got up, cleaned up and bummed around for a bit til 11:30am. We checked out, checked our bags into their little lock-up room and headed down to see Harry Potter at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. My first Digital movie, and the sound was fantastic I must say. The tickets are about $10 here, but my popcorn/drink/ice cream combo cost me about $15, so its pretty comparable to our prices, obviously not including the exchange rate.
Anyway that killed a couple of hours, and I got to watch HP again so all good.
Afterwards we wandered a bit before JT decided he'd go see District 9. He said it was on at 3:20pm...5 minutes after he left he came back. He'd been looking at the HP movie times, and the next screening of the other movie wasn't til 4:20pm.
So we wandered some more, then headed back to the hotel. Across the road is a mini supermarket thing so I went in and bought some chocolates. They have way too many peanut-themed bars. STUPID! Didn't get too much stuff, it cost me about $25 for what I did get and I couldn't really carry anything else to the register (not enough range, really).
Anyways, I'm going to get going and pack up my laptop again.
BYE!
After edit: I had about 10 minutes left til our shuttle was due to arrive, and then I was told that the couple that was sitting with us in the lobby who had been packed up and into a shuttle already were on the same one as us - so I literally had to hit the "publish post" button on here, hit the off button on my laptop, jam everything in my bag and run out. It was rather irritating!
So we ended up on a shuttle full of Aussies, and then finally at the airport. We checked our bags in without any issues with overweight bags and set off to the security check in. Heaps of shops and food places were in the main area where everyone could go. We thought "you know, every other time we've been to an airport on this trip, the better shops and food places have been inside after we get through security." So theres no doubt, we walk on through. And you know, once you get through you can't get back out. Of course, there was nothing on the other side. And what there was - nothing was open. Except one little cafe shop that was charging $10 for a pre-packed sandwich.
After this, not much to say. Found a power point to plug into and played Doom til we could get on the plane.
I slept for 10 hours on that flight. The plane touch down was nasty when we got back in and once we finally got through customs, my Mum was waiting with my Dad on the other side. It felt good to be back.
