Traveling again: Day 5

Hello all,

Quick update. We are at the airport in Sydney again for our flight to Hobart for our two week research session. Seems like we've been in this country for weeks. Awesome.

Dropped the rental car off and found out that Aussie airports are a little different.

A couple of things:

They do not charge per bag here. You are given 25kg (around 50lb) per passenger. That's it. They don't care how you divide it, even if its 400 bags. So yes, I was over. $75 dollars over but its okay because I was expecting a $35 per bag fee anyway. So I was only shy $5 bucks.

It is possible for TSA to be nicer in the United State. Aussie Security Administration are more efficient and one, don't molest you, and two actually are extremely kind.

That's pretty much it. About to leave this coffee shop and head for my gate. Also, Aussie lattes make American lattes look weak. Hope all is well. Sorry I do not write very much, but I'm not much of an extreme typer nor do I have the internet time. Maybe I'll get better in Hobart.

Cheers mates

Shane
