Such a long way away!



It continues to amaze me, this world we live in, and the achievements mankind has made. It blows me away that just last week, I was standing on this beach in Clearwater, Florida, and now I'm sitting back in my house in Brisbane Australia. The fact I can get on an airplane and travel halfway across the world in a day is quite sensational, I think. To give you a bit more of a perspective of just how far this is, check out this map, where I've studiously put arrows in both places. What a nerd.
I'm gradually settling back into the pace of homelife again. The regular Saturday routines kicked in today, with Soccer in the morning, and the weekly shop with Aidan. Callum came along to both outings as well, but I couldn't put him down, otherwise he would scoot away. Besides, we've just had our first decent douse of rain in several weeks, so everything is finally wet.

I am still jetlagged. People tell me its worse going right of the planet back left, versus the other way, although I don't really know. I get shagged either way. I know I'm ok until about 5:00pm in the afternoon, and then I zonk it. When Anth wakes me up, I'm really like a zombie for 1/2 an hour. Its weird, not really like sleep deprivation, but just a crazy sense of lack of inertia. Oh wait a minute, that's just because I'm lazy isn't it!

Ciao for Now, Still Amazed and Lazed Angry Dad.

Glad to hear you are back home again. I hope you made it before your one child started crawling (you mentioned that just before you left). I'm glad things are settling in for you now that you've had a reunion with your family.

I love the map! Hang in there! In a few days, the lag will be but a memory.

Holy Crap, you live FAR FAR away. I am not good at geography, I truly had no idea you were so far away. GOOD LORD! I know I am an embarrsement to the US educational system. :)
