Your Head's Not As Spherical as it Used To Be...

First, where are we now? Well, we're currently in Perth, in an Internet Cafe, only been here for 2 days but seems a lot longer, you'll probably understand why when you've finished reading the entries!

We left Ipswich in wet and windy conditions at 5am and arrived successfully at Heathrow in plenty of time for our 12:05 flight. The intended plan of having no sleep the previous night was evident in some...Steve had none, Shelden had none, RC had an hour, I had 1 & half, Ben took advantage of 7. Any fear of this depressing us was soon put to bed once we had seen Shelden's passport photo (we're in the process of attempting to get this posted here, well worth it), for those who have seen his driving license, it is worse! It also brings us onto the blog title, which Steve used to sum up the difference between Shelden Passport and Shelden Now.

Right, so we took off, a tailwind ensured our flight was just the 11 hours rather then 12 so, wouldn't take that long, and with the lack of sleep we had all had the previous night we sleep through it anyhow...WRONG! I think I managed an hour so, to entertain the 11 hours we were able to play an interactive game using the TV embedded in the seats in front, the particular favourite of the group was ScrambleDash an anagram game which required you to rearrange words into the correct order, the beauty of this game was that it could be played against other flyers and held a top ten score from all flights...the leader when we boarded had 3800 points and had sat in seat 51C, the same as mine...at the end of the flight seat 51C was still top although this time it was with 3950 points, possibly the most greatest achievement of my life so far!

So we got to Hong Kong on time...

Got to go now, sorry for lack of photos, cameras packed up already will work on that situ, will fill you in on the rest when have more time...
