Arriving in Australia


December 3, 2007


After 26 hours of travel we finally arrived in Australia - it was raining! All the National Geographic specials Sean made me watch made it seem like this was the driest place on Earth. The flight - for those of you who have said you are going to visit, it's not that bad. We flew from DC to LA to Sydney to Melbourne...and I slept almost the whole way! The craziest thing is we left on December 1 and arrived on December 3. It's about an hour cab ride to the city. We were those people in the airport that have so many bags you ask yourself why they didn't just ship it.


We are staying right in the city in temporary housing. This is the view from our balcony. And to everyone who's dying to know...the toilets just flush down! The water doesn't go in any direction. As mom said, alot of people are going to be disappointed.
