Happy birthday! YAY!
Hope you and Terry are having a great time on your trip!
Say hello to all at SD from all of us here at WC. 
Here's your card, which I'm sure will boomerang on me. 
Thanks, guys....
Though being on the wrong side of the world it's still the 24th. ..3am 25th in Oz though.
We're in santa monica near the pier at the moment... heading off to Venice Beach for some last shopping.
We head off back down under tomorrow.arriving on the 27th .... missing the 26th entirely.
It'sIt's all been fun....won't be the last time over here....;)
Happy Birthday, Paul, and I hope that you and your wife enjoy your trip.
Well that 'll be a day you'll never get back. 
Anyway, 'appy birfday n' many 'appy returns
Was gonna send yer a card the mouldy oldies club recycles among members... last I heard, Doc [next eldest behind Moses] still had it. 
Another birthday, another hair sprouts out unexpectedly from some bizarre place 
Happy birthday sir, hope it was a good one
And a handful from where they're supposed to be fall out.... which is why you never see Jafo without a hat. 
We made it home...not without a little extra entertainment.
We were flying from LAX direct to Melbourne on an A380....one of THE longest direct flight routes on the planet....listed as 8001 miles.
The fuel capacity [for a full passenger load] means that if there's an issue with landing in Melbourne the 'bug-out' Airport [also in Melbourne] Avalon is still in range for secondary go-round and approach, etc.
Cleverly both Melb and Avalon were fogged in meaning the next bug-out would be Adelaide [South Australia] and way too far away.
So...solution was to land in Sydney and refuel ..... so there would be enough reserve for the Adelaide bug-out....that wasn't needed.
An hour or so in Sydney getting refuelled...then the half hour or more on the tarmac in Melb waiting for a gate to clear for us...and the flight was probably all up 18 hours.
It was all more an issue for the pilot...as he now has to explain in writing why he took the course of action that results in a lot of connecting flights etc. being missed...also therefore missing the gate allocation....
Personally I'm on his side....cos he got 500+ people and a rather expensive bird on the ground without issue...;)
Yup, safety first is the go. I'd rather an extended flight that ends up safely on the ground... cos a shortened one that ends up in the drink is not an option.
Anyway, I'm pleased that you and Terry made it home safely. 
My birthday present.....and Christmas...and next birthday...and Christmas...and next birthday...and Christmas....and...
I said Happy Birthday on Facebook, and then I realised that you never look on your Facebook page, so now I've had to come all the way into the forums to say Happy Birthday! I hope you appreciate my efforts.
