Well I’ve certainly had an eventful (and expensive) couple of days since arriving in the USA, and the Post-Polio Health International (PHI) Conference hasn’t even started yet! I had a very early start to make my 9:15 am flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles but all went without a hitch, and I got a great seat (which I had previously selected online) which was not actually classified as having extra leg room, but considering there was no seat in front of it, I was able to stretch out to my heart’s content.
