Heading to China

Hi everyone,

After having been in Australia for 7 weeks I head back to China today. I am so sad. Tears in bed with my cat after saying goodbye to Dave, tears after saying goodbye to Zoe, and tears on the way in the car after saying goodbye to Mum. Luckily the tears started again when I checked my bags in as I had just said good bye to Mum on the phone again. Luckily because I think my luggage was about 32kg! Oops!

I am feeling really, really tired right now. Up at 4am and a 2 hour drive after only getting like 4 hours cause Leo stretches righhhht ouuuut in bed.

Anyway take care everyone and goodbye Australia for another 10 months. :(

Family Shots

I can't believe...

Hi everyone, I can't believe that it has already been 6 weeks in Australia - our home.



We have had the biggest busiest holiday here and have travelled the whole time visiting family and friends. I still can't believe that I have less than 7 days left.



Kane flew out of the country this morning. We woke up at around 5.30 and got very lost on our way the airport. He finally pulled up at around 7.30ish for a 9.35 flight. We had a quick kiss and hug goodbye and then I drove back to Traralgon. It's not really worth me hanging around the airport with him when we will be seeing each other again in 7 days.

At around Warragul I thought of Kane as it was around 9.50... I thought ...oh, my the boy will be in the air now... just as I heard an ad on the radio about a couple who were arguing about doing the dishes. In the end the ad was about a 'Tom Tom' (a sat nav for the car) for driving directions so they weren't arguing over directions. Quite ironic as that is what Kane and I did as we got lost around Greensborough and I couldn't give him directions and I was told I should have had 'it' organised... I can only try my dear :) I think I will buy one when we get back!

At around 10.10 I thought he will well and truly be on his way and I got to Mum's at 10.30ish. Once I got there I found out in fact that the plane was delayed!!!!! And in fact he wouldn't have even been in the air while I was thinking about him being gone. So it is 8.35 here in Tyers, it will be 6.35 in Shanghai and Kane should be landing in about 10 minutes. It will then probably take him 2-3 hours to get home to Suzhou. So if he hasn't slept on the plane it will be about 18 hours travelling for the poor baby and he should get there around 11pm Oz time and 9pm China time.

I will be in bed by then :)
Next my turn, but not before my school reunion this weekend - bring it on!
Cheers
Kelly
