Dear Emma,
I've finally arrived in Sydney. It has been a long journey.
Yesterday morning. I got a taxi to take me to the airport. I had to check in two hours before the time on my ticket. I gave the airline my luggage, and got my boarding pass. Then I had to go through security check. There, a serious airport staff checked inside my other bags. After that, I still had an hour left, so I looked around some shops in the airport. I bought myself a magazine and some snacks for the trip.
I had never been on a plane before, so once I sat down I listened carefully to all the safety instructions. Then the plane took off I was close to a window. I was able to watch the ground slowly disappear through the clear window. However, soon all I could see were clouds, so it wasn't very interesting.
The journey took fourteen hours, all the way from Los Angeles to Sydney. I got meals and watched a couple of films on the plane. When I arrived, I had to remember the time difference-the time in Sydney is seventeen hours ahead of Los Angeles, and I had to change my watch from midnight to 17:00 next day. I nearly missed a whole day!
After I landed and got off the plane, I went to find my bags. I was happy because I found my luggage quite quickly. The woman next to me on the plane was not so lucky--her luggage was sent to a different country! She was very upset.
I took the bus into Sydney, as the airport is almost an hour away from the city center. I then had to carry my heavy luggage down onto the underground, and travel several stops to get to my hotel.
Once I got into my room, I lay down on the bed. This must be caused by jet lag--the feeling you get when your body thinks it is one time in the day, but in fact it isn't.
Now I am going to sleep after spending nearly half a day traveling. I think I am really going to enjoy my holiday in Sydney.
Yours Hanna
