We have a 2 hour layover in Sydney before our flight to Brisbane. We need to get through customs from the international terminal to the domestic terminal in less than 2 hours.

Any tips on speed running this thing?

So, we make landfall in about 18 days. We’re effectively starting fresh.

I absolutely will need at the minimum a basic coffee maker to assist me in remaining human. We’ll also need a ton of usb wall adapters.
