coming home ...

i always find whenever i'm out of the country, or even the state, for more than two or three weeks - i freak out whenever i get back home.

we arrived in sydney this morning at about 7AM after an unscheduled stop in brisbane (about an hour away), and i've packed away 95% of my suitcase... now begins the motion sickness and the general 'wow' factor of being home.

wow australian tv! wow the comfy couch!! wow my car!

all really little things that i never thought i'd feel any different about at any other time..

i'll write more about it later, but san francisco was amazing - we're already making plans to go back for a longer stay. of course there are a tonne of photographs to sort through (which i'm starting on tonight), but first my brain needs to adjust to the free, high speed internet i've missed for 3 weeks and i need to catch up on alot of emails that have been sent to my email account i couldn't check while travelling.

anyway, photos and more stories to come over the next few weeks.... we had a really incredible time travelling around together, meeting new and old friends. there's so much to catch up on and it's sad that it's 'over' now... but i have missed sydney and the people in my life here.. so it's not so bad coming back to 'real life'
