Home Again

We are safe home and well, if not a litte tired and with a few things to unpack. All the flights were good and with a total of 12 take off’s and landings during this trip, I am adjusting better to my fear of flying. The flight out of LA, was delayed for close to one and an half hours which turned it into a LONG flight, but I feel better than I did on the way over. We arrived in Sydney at 7am and had to run to make the connection because of the delay. We were ushered to the front of the line at check in to get over to the domestic flight. I expected customs to be a pain and that we would not get that flight onto Brissy, but it was a breeze. No sooner had we taken off and the captain said to prepare for landing. After a 15 hour flight an hour one goes really quick. We then had a painful 4 hour wait at Brissy for our connection to Townsville. Waiting, waiting, waiting. After out $1.40 vanilla coffee’s all over America a $5.40 latte was a real shock. Strange hearing Aussie accents ( not that I have one) again. ; ) We finally made it home at 4pm after nearly 30 hours I think of traveling. I have the weekend and then back to work. Arrggghhh!!! I guess after 6 weeks I shouldn’t complain : )
Time to go spend time with my puppies…..

Glad to hear you have made it safely home! I do not envy you having just the weekend to recover then back to work. But it sounds like such a fabulous vacation. What will your students think?
