How does one get from Adelaide, South Australia to Lafayette, La.?

Depends on who you ask.

If you are Scott Way, it's pretty simple--take a 27-hour flight to Dallas, rent a car, and make the six-hour drive to Cajun Country.

"Two in-flight movies, a sleeping pill, and a breakfast," explains Scott on how he, his wife Anne, and daughter Hannah made the trip somewhat bearable.

The obvious follow-up question--"Why go from Adelaide, South Australia to Lafayette, La.?"

That answer is pretty simple as well--they wanted to see the fourth member of the Way family, UL senior tennis player Alexandra (better known as Ali) compete in her last home match Saturday against Prairie View A&M.
