I now have plane tickets to Sydney.

I leave NYC at 6:10pm December 30.
I stop in Los Angeles (it was this or SFO, and as much as I loathe LA, I'm really glad that's where I'm stopping).
I arrive in Sydney at 8am, January 1.
Flying United.

I'll be back the night of January 24, same route in reverse.

Having one of my weird lovely senses of knowing about it all.
