The Long Haul . . .
The distance across the Pacific hasn’t got any less since I
used to make that trip very frequently. However, everything went very
smoothly (except for a very prolonged check in procedure in Melbourne) and after a couple movies, meals
and a little bit of sleep we landed in LA on time.
The flight to Detroit was
also uneventful despite quite a bit of weather in the Detroit area. The final leg
backtracking to Appleton was just over an hour,
so it too passed without any dramas – and the guy was at the airport to
transport me to Oshkosh.
Arrival . . .
The university was well set up to receive people with a 24/7
conference centre and 24/7 concierge in each of the halls of residence. I stayed in the 1960s South Scott Hall . . .
which probably would have been quite nice some 50 years ago but it is a bit
dated now. Still it appeared clean and
comfortable and I really only needed a bed and a place to store my stuff.
Once checked in I grabbed some food from over the road and then crashed out for the night – and surprisingly I slept well and for a reasonable time and was pretty much time adjusted by the morning. The colder wet weather around Detroit was also here and I began to wonder if I had brought the right clothes – but that can be tomorrow’s problem as I just needed to have a decent sleep.
