Annnnd We're Off!

It's Yours Truly in a grudge match with United Airlines...

In this corner:
Standing 6'5" weighing in at a healthy 315lbs, the pissed off dinosaur.

In the opposite corner, United Airlines- a 3-hop 25-hour nightmare of cattle-class seats, projectile vomiting children, surly Flight Attendants, and disease-laden aircraft- arriving sometime Wednesday in scenic Sydney NewSouthWales- latest victim of jihadi terrorism.
Lovely. Just lovely.

So... JAX-IAH-SFO-SYD. 
(My life in Three Letter Acronyms...)

This is my third year working this event - missing out on my anniversary (24th this year), Christmas, New Years, & my Mom's birthday. Probably won't do it again next year. 
Let some dumb noob do it instead of me.
Hopefully I will survive unscathed this year.
We'll see how it goes. No bike rental this year, and I'm going to try to avoid shark attacks and rip currents this go-round. Australia is full of dangerous shit that will kill you-
No doubt I will find some trouble to get into.

Wish me luck...

Best of luck to you. And if Australia tries to kill you, you kill it right back.
