Day One Orlando
March 15-17
-
-
An assortment of flights started the first day. The initial leg
started from Orlando to Atlanta via Delta.
-
We knew the attendants had exceptional talents when we heard harmonica music
coming from the
-
galley. The collection of music ranged from the Yellow Rose of
Texas to Evita. No doubt, it was the
-
same attendant while using the PA system showed impersonations - a galloping
horse coming to a
-
halt during the landing. The final neighing during taxi was the
crowning touch.
-
-
Next leg was Atlanta to New York JFK airport - an amazing assortment of
terminals connected by
-
light rail loop. So, connecting from Delta to Qantas involved some
literal leg work.
-
-
A Qantas 747-400 series aircraft is the equivalent of a great room in a
house. Stairs to the second
-
floor "hump" were immediate upon boarding. The new
generation of Qantas seats are a "couch
-
potato's" dream come true. Besides the usual multitudes of
buttons to control every aspect of the
-
body position, including massage, extra compartments held both water
bottles, magazines, and
-
shoes. Quite the contrast from a business flight last week that was
middle seat in the "back of
-
the bus". The on demand selection of 60 movies should fill the 22
hours of Qantas flying.
-
-
Due to the international date line, we are leaving on Wednesday and arriving
on Friday - all
-
under the logo of a red kangaroo.
