My Australia plan

I apparently need something to occupy my mind outside of school work. Otherwise crazy things like this happen...

So I have always wanted to visit Australia, but the insanely long flight always freaked me out. I know I can handle 7.5 hours in a plane, as long as I have a little wine. That's what it was to Ireland. But, Australia is a little different. Most flights from out here have to stop in California, so it's broken up, but it's still like 5.5 hours to CA (w/o stops) and another 14 to Australia.

But i have discovered the solution! A super vacation. Go to CA, spend a few days. Go to Hawaii and spend a few days. Go to Sydney and spend a few days. Then do the same thing going back. The trip from Honolulu to Sydney is 10.5 hours. A little more than my limit, but I think I can handle it. And with this lovely trip, you get to visit more places! My trip would have to be two or more weeks, depending on how much time you want in each place, but at least I won't be spending 24 hours in a plane and/or airport.

Yeah, I just spent some time on online travel sites planning my itinerary. I need a new hobby.
