Day 2- August 7th

Cabin of the plane.

Today, we spent the whole day on the second flight from Los Angeles to Brisbane. We wished that we could have chosen a different spot to vacation during our summer, but we knew that the long trips that we would take to get to Papua New Guinea would be worth it. At this point, all of us were so incredibly tired, so we agreed to take naps when we landed in Papua New Guinea. Sarah had checked her phone, and realized that her clock had been set back three hours, because we had now left the US Eastern Time Zone. Technically, the flight was only 13 hours and 50 minutes long, but the time change made it seem longer than it really was.

Because we had a terrible night of sleep on the airplane, sleeping in seemed to be an impossible task. The turbulence last night had kept us up. Sierra loved riding on the plane, and had no trouble falling asleep. After we ate breakfast and watched a movie, Ayesha, Sarah, and Sierra pulled out books to read. Katelin and Jessie went over our next flight's information, although they spent most of the time talking about what we would do first in Papua New Guinea. We looked forward to the Papua New Guinea Adventure Park, because of all the activities it provided. Katelin was the most adventurous of the group and was very eager to go rock climbing, and do the high-ropes course in the park. Even with our books, we had trouble finding things to do. Thankfully, Sarah pointed out the crystal blue water down below. This helped us to keep our spirits up until we landed in Port Moresby.
