Today is not over… It’s a long one.  We traveled back in time and arrived in SFO before we left SYD.  So today will be 19 hours longer than a normal day for us.  But one thing is for sure. We’re home and we’re done with our trip.  When we saw the rain during our decent, we knew our summer was over. With that being the case, this is our last batch of pictures.  See them after the break.

We just landed at SFO. Waiting for bags and heading home.

Do you have nothing better to do but track our flight back home? I knew it. Great! Just go to either of these links. We’re on Qantas Flight 73. http://flightwise.com/track/QFA73 http://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA73 http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightTracker/flightTracker.do?id=178288817 Or for the fancy Google Earth 3D way, download this KML courtesy of flightwise.com. (geR1716783.kml) Hopefully that works. See you soon.

All we have left is to eat breakfast, pack, and head to the airport.  Then we’re on out … Read More

Here is our last photo gallery post from Australia.  We’ll probably post another one when we get back home.  It was just a mellow day of walking, shopping and eating.  Enjoy the photos!

Here’s the photos for Day 14.  Yesterday was all about a rain forest and butterflies.  So that’s what you’ll see.

We flew back into Sydney late last night via Virgin Blue and now staying at the Sydney Marriott. Having a bit of trouble with one of our bags.  I think it’ll make it back home, but it’s well past life support right now.  First one wheel buckled, then another.  Finally the pulling handle broke.  I’m ready to throw it in front of a train.  But it’ll make it back home.  We only have to get it to the airport, check … Read More

This is our last day in Cairns.  Andrea and I still have our sea legs and are rocking a bit.  Our destination for Day 14 is Kuranda where they have this SkyRail that goes over and through a rain forest just north of Cairns.  We’ll spend the morning and early afternoon there before heading to the airport this evening.  So tonight we’ll be back in Sydney for two more nights, then it’s back on a plane back home. Wow, I … Read More

Here are the photos from our two days at Flynn Reef.  Hope you enjoy them.
