G'day mates! I officially have 2 hours left in Australia... crazy. I got into Sydney at 11 last night and spent a luxurious evening in the airport. yes. We got locked into this area... kinda reminded me of The Langoliers (Stephen King movie where they're stuck in the airport). The main area was closed from 11p-4a, and then we were able to get in so people could start checking in. I hung out with a couple of Canadians for the evening (they're everywhere!) and offended them to start by asking if they were American... oops. It got really cold in the airport last night, so I was thankful to have my new boots to wear and the warm weather clothes I had bought when I started my trip.
The international terminal has showers too... which is AMAZING. They were way nicer than any of the hostel showers I've seen, and they even had soap for you. And now free internet. So I'm happy and smell-free, which I'm sure is greatly appreciated by everyone around me! Now I've just been browsing duty free and avoiding the newly creepy Canadian people... apparently 8 hours locked into the airport turns some people into mad hatters!
If anyone has a last minute souvenir order, text me :) I can still get Ugg boots at the Duty Free, as well as plenty of fine Australian liquor... which may come in handy if I get bored! I did my souvenir shopping yesterday, though, so I think I'll just read/nap before we board.
I am still in awe that I have been here for 4 weeks. It seems like yesterday that I was stepping off the plane into the Sydney airport. I'm a little nervous about the nearly 30 hours of travel time ahead of me, and wish I could just snap my fingers and get home. And also not be jet lagged, but I don't think that's very likely!
Happy days and I'll talk to all of you soon :) xoxo
ps- I can also bring you home crocodile jerky if anyone's interested... think about it.... ;)
so i just read that you could get ugg boots and am sad that i missed this earlier although am happier that you are coming back to the states. i miss you!!
