    * This email is being written July 11th 01:22 UTC
    * Arrived yesterday July 10th in early afternoon local, just as planned. Was a two attempt landing. First one touch and go due to extreme side-wind turbulence. Second pass the pilot pushed us down hard and we made the landing.
    * Everything is as it should be, *except for the lack of bags.* *All* of the *checked luggage* did not get transferred to the plane in Los Angeles for Sydney because of a delay in the original SEA-LAX link was over an hour late which pushed the limit on the connecting flight to Sydney -- I made it, the baggage didn't. Par for course.
    * I know some are expecting QRV soon. The delays were expected. I'll have some work to do when the gear arrives. Things are looking up. I'm getting a ride back to the air-field this afternoon and if the weather is good enough for landing, then my gear will be arriving on this flight.

    * In the mean time I have been getting caught up on sleep and getting exercise walking the length of the Lagoon Road.

    Thanks.
