going to be a lot of flying as we are traveling all over Australia. I'm not the best flyer (understatement) so I'm definitely a little anxious especially about the 17 hour!!!! flight from Dallas to Sydney. Going out we'll be going Roanoke to Philly to Dallas to Sydney. Then in Australia we'll be in Sydney for 3 days then fly to Cairns. Cairns for 3 days and then fly to Alice Springs via Brisbane. We'll be in Alice Springs/Ayers Rock for 3 days and then fly to Melbourne. We'll be in Melbourne for 2 days and then fly to Queenstown, NZ. We'll be in Queenstown/Mount Cook/Christchurch for 6 days and then fly from Christchurch to Brisbane to Fiji. We'll be in Fiji for 3 days before coming home. Coming home we'll be going from Fiji to LA to Atlanta to Roanoke. It's obviously the trip of a lifetime which is why I'm making myself do it... but holy hell is it a lot of flying for someone who has probably flown 5/6 times total and never for longer than 4 hours!!! Anybody got any tips so that I won't go insane and try to open the door in the middle of a flight??? I've got some Xanax. I've got noise canceling headphones. I'll be taking my iPad and Nintendo Switch. I'd really like to sleep on the plane but I'm not sure I'll be able to get comfortable. They have the seats that turn into beds in first class and even at an additional $7,000 I considered it for the 17 hour flight. Alas I'll be slumming it in Economy. Also we're hitting the obvious stuff like the Opera House, Great Barrier Reef, Uluru/Ayers Rock as well as some other tours/events. Since it's a guided trip the itinerary is pretty full but does anyone have any recommendations for any of the places we'll be?
