Back from Australia

WOW, we got back from our whirlwind 10 day trip to Australia, and we are TIRED TIRED TIRED.  I don't know how people do international travel, without going first or business class.  Or it is that I don't do it enough as Lovely travels twice a year, and that flight would just give me the wheelies.   Let us begin.

Tuesday the 24th, Alan flew in and I picked him up from airport, around 3, traffic bad.  Wrote a 10 page note on how to take care of mom and dad, and dog and cats and chickens, etc.  We hurriedly unpacked his stuff and repacked our stuff and left for the airport.  The flight was 10 20, and after a light meal, I fell into an 8 hour slumber.  KR did not have a seat next to me, and he didn't sleep well.  He was next to a large guy on a bible conference.

Ed picked us up from Sydney airport, and it was warm, not hot yet.  We drove down to Menai to see Minnie and Mark.  They had the most delicious hot and sour soup prepared, plus home made dumplings and we ate EVERYTHING !!!!!!!  PLUS they gave us good to go.  It was a 3 hour trip to Canberra.
