Back at last

Well, that was a 'fun' return trip. Spent a night at the airport in Kuala Lumpur, and then the following night in Melbourne. I think I got about 1.5 hrs combined of sleep over the past couple of nights. Not good at all.

First thing I did when I got off a plane in Melbourne was to go into a washroom and admire the cleanliness of the washroom and the availability of sit down toilettes. Sometimes, it's the simplest things that will make you happy. Trust me, after using squatting toilletes for weeks (even at higher-end malls), you appreciate the little 'luxuries.'

I have only a few days here in Adelaide and then it's back on the plane and across the Equator once again. At least the flight to Canada should have good movies on it. Nothing worse than an 8-hour flight and no entertainment. Well, I guess a 14-hour with no entertainment is worse, but you get my point.

I will try and get the pictures organized and send them out in stages, as I am sure that nobody wants to or has the time to look over the picture of our 6 different destinations all at once. This way, I will at least be able to keep the suspense going. See, I did learn something from the writers of 24. Jack Bauer can get all the baddies in once episode, but then how much fun would that be. In the same way, I could send out just one slideshow, but this way I will be able to entertain you for weeks. :-)

Well, it's off to bed for me. And a real bed this time, not an airport bench or floor. Ahh, the little 'luxuries' of life that we stopped appreciating long time ago but that bring so much joy. :-)
