G'day Mate!

I think I am legally required to say "G'day Mate!" now at least 2 times / day.

I have arrived in Sydney, Australia! :)

I flew from Chicago on Sunday at 5pm CST time to London; an 8 hour flight  I arrived home Monday about 8am (2am CST) GMT / London time.  I was picked back up to go back to the airport at 7:30pm GMT (1:30pm CST) on Monday and flew out at 10pm.  The first leg of this flight was 11-12 hours.  After a much needed 2.5 hour layover for refueling in Bangkok, Thailand -


 we reboarded for another 10.5 hour flight to Sydney - arriving at 6:30am local time.







I had to wait to get my hotel room for 2 hours but had some breakfast and checked some emails.  After getting my room I decided a nap was necessary; unfortunately it was one of those 'not very good sleep' naps but it did last on and off for 3 hours. 

I have since pulled myself out of bed and am on my computer trying to stay awake.  I was feeling adventurous and wanted to go out to a nice dinner by the Sydney Habor tonight, but I think I will pass and will have some comfort food in the comfy space of my own room - while laying in bed and watching Grey's Anatomy or Family Guy.

Apologies but there are probably no other pictures of Turkey I will be posting as last week my computer's hard drive died *moment of silence*.  I was in the middle of editing the photos so they are gone.  Luckily I let Matt go on the vacation with me so I will post a link to his pictures when he puts them on the internet - possibly this century.
