A short shuttle bus to the Tom Bradley International Terminal, and we were soon heading through TSA Pre-Check. Once through, we headed straight into the Qantas First Lounge and found some relaxing recliner seats.

Our bodies were starting to adjust to the time difference. Hopefully, it would be enough for Vick to keep her eyes open for the tennis tonight!
