So, we get to SeaTac and go to check in for our first flight (of many), and sure enough they don't have us booked. Already I can see Katie's head about to explode (seriously). Somehow, we were booked on the flight twice (by our travel agent) and therefore the airline deleted both reservations. All we were left with was a flight from LA to Auckland and Sydney to LA. Of course the flight from Seattle to LA was overbooked so they told us that we could fly standby or get on a flight that would barely get us to LA in time to make our connection. So, just when we were about to lose it, suddenly, two seats appeared (coincidence?) Oh well, we took them. They couldn't give us any answers about the rest of our flights except to check with the Qantas desk in LA (there isn't one in Seattle, thanks for the help guys). Luckily, it looks like we've got things worked out now, but not exactly the start to our vacation that we were hoping for. We are now sitting in a bar in LAX waiting for our flight to Auckland (which we know we are booked on already, hahahah).
Better go...I think I hear them calling for us to board. We will post again from down under. Happy Easter!!

Sorry, guys!! Things can only get better! Let us know if there is anything we can do from this end. We could call the travel agent and make sure there are no other surprises waiting!
Aunt Laurie brought Grandma and Grandpa over today and they were both so excited about your trip. They really enjoyed New Zealand.
Be safe!
Love, Mom
Oh no! Sounds like it all worked out in the end. Hope the flight wasn't to long.
Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. I hope you have a great time down under.
Fheww. Well I'm glad things worked out.
That which does not kill you (and still gets you to LA on time) only makes you stronger right?
