It's almost 10:30 am in Sydney on January 5th. Our flight to Brisbane got switched to an earlier time, so we don't have to wait 6 hours here - SWEET. That was the longest flight ever, but we survived and learned that we're actually very good together at dealing with long stressful travelling conditions! That's definitely convenient! The weather here is about 25 degrees - I'm still carrying my coat around because I couldn't jam it into any of my other bags. I was talking to an Aussie girl on the flight who was visiting her boyfriend in California and said it was *freezing* there. Hahahaha. She had no idea where Ottawa, or even Toronto was!!! ONE MORE FLIGHT AND WE'RE FINALLY "HOME".
