OH WAIT.
I missed it. That's right. I was sitting at the gate but they switched it without verbal notice, and I assume they tried paging me but here pages are only heard from the gate in which they are made, which is so incredibly stupid because if you need a page you are obviously not at the gate to hear it. But I'd already checked my suitcase in so my suitcase went on a solo adventure to Orlando without me for a while. I was then given two options: A) catch a 1pm flight to Salt Lake City and transfer or B) catch a 11pm straight to Orlando.
I chose B) because A) had far too many opportunities for me to screw up and leave myself stranded in the middle of the country. So I had to wait around the airport for aaaaaaaaaaaages. I was too uncomfortable to sleep and my phone and laptop chargers were in my suitcase so I couldn't use them. It was just me and my Kindle for a while. I read two whole books I'll have you know.
On the other hand, there was a Mattel Experience store there and I went in three times coz the wall of Barbies was like a flame. I, in this metaphor, was the moth. On the first visit, I just looked. Second time I got a photo next to a Barbie wall, third I bought a Barbie. I needed a companion for Emerica and who better than my BFF?

Anyway. So on the Syd - LA flight I watched a trillion movies (premier ones! Yay!) and Disney shows and some New Girl. Yesterday I read for about 9 or 10 hours. Today I am sitting in my new Disney room and it is early morning and I've only had about 5 hours' sleep since I got up at 6am on Monday (Syd time) and as much as I desperately crave to just sleep through today, instead I'm off to a theme park to tire me out so I can sort my jetlag out pronto.
Photos to come tonight. Be prepared to squeal. Or fawn over me. Or both.
