Heading Home

Well, we're on the way home..stuck now in O'hare since our flight was delayed by 2 hours. By the time we get home, we will have been in airports and on airplanes for more than 24 hours.

Trip was great. I'll post more tomorrow, including more photos. We haven't had a real internet connection since we left Sydney more than a week ago. Claire's injury didn't slow us down at all, other than the multiple trips to the "chemist" looking for antibiotic ointment only to find out its perscription only in Australia (where you can buy codeine over the counter.)

Rappelling, hiking and camping was great--saw the Milky Way and Southern Cross in the midst of a black Australian sky; the beach was nice, wedding was beautiful including the dolphins that kept swimming back and forth during the ceremony, almost like they were watching. Reception in Canberra was fun and we finished the trip with a lovely dinner at the home of my friends Tammy and Paul Mullins--beautiful home, great food, wonderful friends and awesome dogs.

Will reset the body clock tomorrow, collect all the animals and prepare for a return to the corporate world.
