Home at Last!

December 31st saw us rise at 5.00am to be out at Honolulu Airport for an 8.00am flight across the Pacific to Sydney. Fortunately we were not held up too long with increased airport security and our flight left on time. We were quite impressed with Jetstar, particularly the food and ten hours and four movies later, we touched down in Sydney. It was surreal to be home and we marvelled at the 29 degrees and high humidity as we stepped out of the terminal to catch a taxi to John's Mum's house.
We stayed in Sydney for four days and managed to catch up with some friends and family. We also spent a couple of days searching for a new car and I successfully purchased a snappy little Nissan Tiida which I got to drive home last Tuesday.
Since then, we have been busy unpacking and putting our home back in order. We all have some readjustment to do. For me, it seems like my head space is still in Ontario. Nevertheless, we are enjoying summer in narooma. The days are hot and clear and I have enjoyed being able to walk in the mornings. Em is back in the surf and the boys are enjoying back yard cricket with their mates!
Yesterday, we got our dog back and we have enjoyed welcoming him home.
The previous years in many ways, seems like a dream. However, we have some wonderful memories and experiences of our time away that will remain with us always!
