We headed off at 11am (Melbourne time) and landed in Los Angeles 8am (LA) time then on to Chicago where we touched down 6pm (Chicago time) and are now happily settled in our Hotel after a short walk and dinner and feeling very weary are now ready for a good sleep and a bit of a collapse for 3 days to recover from some of our exhaustion before we collect our bikes on September 3rd and head east. Hope you can join us for the ride.



Ken, Sharen, Nola and Norm in the Virgin lounge before we headed off from Tullamarine Airport (Melbourne). By the way we couldn’t speak too highly of the flight over. The Virgin staff were brilliant, the food superb and a ‘flat bed’ to sleep on it was the least my ankles have swollen flying for long periods.
