November 19th, 2014, didn’t really exist for Angie and I. \u00a0We departed LAX before midnight on the 18th, and we landed in Sydney on November 20th. \u00a0This day was sucked into the void never to be heard from again.<\/p>\n
However, I can share that spending fourteen hours on a airplane is akin to cruel and unusual punishment. \u00a0Especially when that time is spent in economy class. \u00a0We flew on Virgin Austrailia, and the space in economy is\u00a0cavernous when compared to the domestic United economy class seats. \u00a0My knees were not rubbing against the seat in front of me. \u00a0The service absolutely rocked and the cabin crew was amazing. \u00a0Likewise, the free in seat entertainment, \u00a0and the ability to charge my mobile device was great. \u00a0Sorry United, you’ve lost me. \u00a0I’m cashing in my miles, and I’m gone.<\/p>\n
Angie signed us up for extreme vegetarian meals which apparently also means no dairy or gluten — both staples in my regular diet. \u00a0Dinner and breakfast on the plane, while tasty, weren’t tasty enough and I firmly blame the lack of dairy and gluten.<\/p>\n
Finally, sleeping in economy is near impossible regardless of the amount of knee space. \u00a0I had so many kinks in my body from being curled up in a ball in the seat I needed a massage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
