Well, after a worriesome day on the first leg of our journey, we have finally gained admission to the first class lounge in Vancouver, with boarding cards to Sydney in our pockets. Hurray!

Of course, it'll be more than 24 hours from now (even ignoring timezone/dateline effects) before we (hopefully) touchdown in the Land of Oz. Dunno about internet access there yet -- probably none for the first week, in Cairns.

Cheers
