Steamboat to Brisbane, Australia

Today we made our second trip for the year to Brisbane. We were here in April and May on vacation and now we are back again because my company has asked me to deliver some training next week.

As nice as it is to be back again so soon, the trip doesn't get any shorter or easier. Drive to Denver (3.5 hours), American Airlines from Denver to LAX (3 hours) and then Qantas code shared as American Airlines from LAX to Brisbane (13 hours). And it doesn't help when you arrive after such a long trip and your baggage doesn't!

The one compensation of all these trips home is that we joined the American Airlines frequent flyer program in March of this year and by the time we get back to Steamboat we'll both have qualified as Platinum (50,000 miles)!
