We made it home just fine--I sure do hate those tiny airplane seats, though! On the good side, on both the first and last legs of the trip, we had three seats for the two of us, and an exit row on the last one. Neither of us slept at all on the 30-hour trip, so we were pretty exhausted when we arrived home close to midnight Saturday. Gary got up in time to go to a church meeting, but I slept around the clock; Gary had to wake me at 12:45 p.m.!
Lots of laundry to do, mail to sort, groceries to buy, and luggage to put away, but it was a wonderful experience. And I think the long plane trips are sort of like labor--painful to endure but once completed you think maybe it wasn't so bad! :-)
Australia is a beautiful country/continent, at least what we saw of it. If you have the chance to go, please do so (but if you can afford to go business class or 1st class--as if any of us could--that will improve the trip even more!). Beth and Dan were wonderful hosts, even giving up their own bedroom for three weeks, and we were blessed to spend so much time with them.
Thanks for sharing all of this with us. We hope that our next adventure will be to The Netherlands, since Beth and Dan are moving there in September.
