Australia 2007: Home

…13 hours after I left Tam’s to catch the Flyaways bus from Van Nuys, I got home. Yep, flights via O’Hare are still a bit messy. But I had a wonderful time and I’m home. I tried to upload photos but Gallery is a bit corrupted at the moment so it’s going to have to wait.

ETA: I put them on Picasa

Australia 2007

 I’m having way too much fun playing with Picasa and my new camera. Can’t wait to try Picasa for photo editing because GIMP has not grown on me. Anyway.

Australia was a lot of fun. The wedding was fun: my first . . . → Keep Going: Australia 2007: Home

Three Wedding Snaps!

 There will be more once I’m home, but here are three quick ones.

 

Yep, my hair has gotten just a *little* long! The stylist actually used a curling iron on all of it. What patience! It looked nice, but I still can’t wait to cut it. 

 

Hair all done, but still in normal clothes. $15 fleeces from Myer. Yay!

 

 In full bridesmaid glory.

Ended up getting a new camera since it was on sale, which I really love so far. It fits in my pocket or pocketbook which is . . . → Keep Going: Three Wedding Snaps!

Cari, re-mapped / A very different kind of trip…

I realised after seeing it on another blog that I hadn’t updated my countries since June. Have remedied that:

I also came to realise just how odd that sounds. New countries since June. Adding New Zealand is a bit of a technicality but no worse than Singapore or The Netherlands.

Although this has been a very different kind of visit than previous trips, it’s been a lot of fun. A lot of wedding stuff and some general catching up. Between the 30 hours travel time from New York to Melbourne as well as . . . → Keep Going: Cari, re-mapped / A very different kind of trip…

So I’m here….

Melbourne.

Arrived Friday AM via Auckland and my jetlag prevention tactic (stay awake  all day from NYC – LA and then sleep LA – Melbourne) worked fairly well. Slept most of the way to Auckland and dozed Auckland – Melbourne. Meant that I was awake from ~3AM Melbourne time but I stayed awake the whole day, crashing at about 10pm. Busy day yesterday and was falling asleep by the end of the show but lasted fairly well. Think I definitely did OK, we’ll see about the return.

Have had a ton of fun. Some shopping, some good food, a fun Hen’s night at . . . → Keep Going: So I’m here….

LAX

so I calculated that it would be some 33 hours between when my flight was scheduled to depart from White Plains (HPN) this morning and arrival in Melbourne. It’s 9:32 EDT so I’m ~12.5 hours into it. Delayed out of HPN this morning (weather and residual delays) but I made my connection in O’Hare with time to grab a yummy sandwich on a jalopeno cheddar bagel. I got a great chocolate chip cookie too but I left it on the plane In this era of taking away every possible extra in Coach, American Airlines has returned in-flight entertainment in . . . → Keep Going: LAX
