Today is Travel Day Part II

When one travels somewhere, there is usually a time when one has to travel back. That's today. We're packed up and ready to drive our car on the left hand side of the road one last time so that the new Bride and Groom can take us to the airport. It's bit sad - and a bit relieving. Sad because it's over, relieving because sleeping in my own bed seems like a very nice evening in and of itself. Yesterday we did our souvenier shopping and a bit of final time at the beach. It was much warmer yesterday - and it seems like we've run the whole spectrum of weather out here. Heat and Humidity, Rain and Humidity, and Cool by the Ocean with Humidity. The view is usually worth surviving the humidity.

Finally, last night we went to a large seafood buffet with the Brad and Hilary (Groom's parents) and Mark and Leigh (Pastor's who married us). Such a great time to catch up and reivew what's been happening to each of us over the past 5 years. And the seafood was fabulous! Jimmy was introduced to "prawn sandwiches" which I think hold a great deal of memories for the natives here (seems like it would be a good meal after surfing all day) and I took advantage of the dessert :) Chocolate mousse seems quite popular here and i've enjoyed as much of it as I could!

Otherwise, our flight leaves at noon today... we fly to Auckland, New Zealand before flying to LA. Technically we arrive in LA at 10:00am Wednesday, which will be 2 hours earlier than we leave today (Wednesday in AU).

It's been wonderful - and I hope I get to share pictures on this site with you all.

Thanks for reading, we'll let you know when we land.

G'day -
