Getting There

We got to Sydney on Tuesday the 18th and stayed with Mar's brother, Tim. We took a taxi as well as our own car to get our 5 suitcases to the airport. John Artymko (my exchange partner) had decided to buy our car and his sister, Bernadette met us at the airport to collect it.

So for anyone in Batemans Bay who happens to wave to the good looking, balding man driving the Commodore who ignores you - it's just John who doesn't know you yet. If the same thing happens next year it'll just be me being rude and ignoring you!

Mar's sister Kathy and the cousins came to the airport to farewell us, as did Grandma. We even found a Santa for an early Christmas photo.

The trip from Australia to NZ was pleasantly uneventful. A six hour stop over was almost long enough to get service at the airport Maccas. Then a 12 hour flight to LA where Jordan was running a temp, Nic was trying to break the record for most time spent in front of a TV screen (until it stopped working) and Ella proceeded to have a crack at the most sick bags filled!

USA get ready!
