G'day mate!

After weeks and weeks of planning, i'm back in Australia! The "trip" over was long, but not too bad. I left Little Rock around 7am on Tuesday and headed to LA. I got to spend the day there with aunt Amy. We did touristy things like Manns Chinese Theater, Santa Monica Pier, etc. My flight from LA to Sydney left around 10:30pm that night. By the way, if you ever come this way fly V Australia, not only do they have really good deals, overall it was a great experience. Not that Delta was bad last time, V Australia was just better :-) The flight was good, as good as a 14 hour flight could be I guess. I actually slept almost 8 hours of it so I was very thankful not to be watching movie after movie. I got in Sydney around 6:30am Thursday (which is around 3:30pm Wednesday for those of you back home, there is a 15 hour time difference). My cousins mom came to meet me at the airport and now i'm getting settled at my cousins house in Gosford where i'll be staying for a while.

I'm super excited! It feels so good to be back, almost like I never left. I'm so excited to see everyone and get settled and back into a routine. It still almost doesn't feel real though. I guess it will take a while to realize that this is home.

Pictures and updates to come :-)
