off to Australia
Taking advantage of being in San Francisco, I flew yesterday to Australia over the Pacific, crossing for the first time the day line. The 15 hour Qantas flight to Sydney was remarkably smooth and quiet, with most passengers sleeping for most of the way, and it gave me a great opportunity to go over several papers I wanted to read and review. Over the next week or so, I will work with my friends and co-authors David Frazier and Gael Martin at Monash University (and undoubtedly enjoy the great food and wine scene!). Before flying back to Paris (alas via San Francisco rather than direct).

Except for the inconvenience of transiting through the US, it’s probably just as fast to go Melbourne-SF-Paris as it would be to go Melbourne-Dubai-Paris!

Except this adds the leg Melbourne/Sydney…

This is why no one likes Sydney!
