Jon and Susan

This is the blog of
Susan and Jon.

We're engineers by day and recreational cooks by night. Susan enjoys exploring the world of gluten-free cuisine and Jon is always on the lookout for a better Margarita. We like to travel in our free time. We can be a little schmoopy at times, but we'll try not to get annoying.

Count Down Under

In 24 hours, Susan and I will be on an Air New Zealand flight to Auckland, then on to Sydney, Australia. From there we'll head to Uluru, aka Ayers Rock to begin our driving adventure across the Australian Outback. After a week in the Outback, we head to Perth to explore Western Australia for another week.

I'm happy to be flying Air New Zealand. They are really friendly, have good food, comfortable planes, and they were one of the first airlines to feature custom programming for each seat in Economy Class. I actually held a permanent residency permit for New Zealand once, but opted to work at Google instead of moving. In retrospect, a fine choice.

I've been to Australia a couple of times, and I've spent several weeks in Sydney. But I've never been where Susan and I are going. Susan has never been to Australia, and after our two weeks, she'll being staying on there for another five. I am quite jealous.

Below are some of the places Susan marked to visit while she's staying in Sydney.

    *Heart* Air New Zealand. I appreciated their personal TVs and the remote that came with it way back in '06.

    Just flew Delta recently and they got it all wrong: touch screen personal TVs. Think about it... Halfway through trying to sleep, my seat is being pushed forward in constant rhythm by a Spanish woman who was playing a trivia game. Not smart Delta, not smart.
