Finally home

Well, we are all back in Chicago. We have been up for about 30 hours, but it doesn't really feel like it. We are sad to not be in Sydney anymore, but really happy to be home.

The trip back was really good. It took a really long time to get through ticketing in the Sydney airport, but after that it was pretty much a breeze. While we were in line, we started talking to a woman in line who was traveling to New York City. I mentioned living in upstate NY and she asked where because she grew up in Ithaca! Now she lives outside Sydney with her husband. On the flight from Sydney, Dad sat next to a man who lives about 20 minutes outside Ithaca. He didn't mention where, but small world!!

The people in front of Dad on the Sydney flight were a little ridiculous. It was a couple and their two young boys. The boys were all over the place, climbing on the seats, hitting things, being obnoxious. Once they finally went to sleep, it was good.

We had a lay over in San Francisco and it was really simple going through customs and getting checked back in. The flight from CA to Chicago felt super short compared to the flight back to the states.

Overall, it was an amazing trip. Once get back to the states, we kept looking to the wrong side of escalators and the road because we need to adjust to the states again. Traci is going to pull together all the pictures and delete all the repeats. Laurel's camera is amazing so we made her take most of the photos. Now we just have to get them all in one place. Keep an eye out for photos coming your way!!!

Cheers!
