flight over the Pacific, only to arrive

in sunny Sydney.

Cant help but comment how impressive Memphis's Fed Ex terminal. Yes it is Elvis Presley International airport (to be fair not a lot of Internal flights), but to visit an airport where 75% of the terminal and planes (if not more) are Fed Ex blows your mind. It is one amazing piece of infrastructure, many a Rolex travels through there I am sure every day.

Monte Cristo · 15 May 2012, 07:04 PM

Ok ok, I'm almost home. You guys have any idea what Sydney traffic is like ???

up2nogood · 15 May 2012, 07:34 PM

Absolutely shite. Still, new toy at the end of the trip!

Monte Cristo · 15 May 2012, 08:11 PM

After stopping to pick up some bread and milk for the family I finally get home.

I kiss the kids and ask the wife "where's the box?", she says "what box?" I say "don't toy with me woman!", she then waves her hand towards a FEDEX box just lying on the floor. I pick it up, put it under my arm, retreat to the study and lock the door behind me.

26 min later how long does it take to open a box....... or did fed ex send you the rubber dog poo bound for Hong Kong.........

Monte Cristo · 15 May 2012, 08:40 PM

Using a sharp instrument, usually reserved for surgeons, and otherwise know in Australia as a Stanley knife, I open the box...

Monte Cristo · 15 May 2012, 08:59 PM

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma......

Hold on... what's that number on the side of the box?
