It's All Over -- Except for the Memories and the Jet Lag

A Panorama View of Sydney Harbor

 

 

After months of planning and expectation, as well as a measure of anxiety, I have returned home from Australia. The trip and the sights far exceeded my expectations. The group K and I traveled with were terrific -- punctual, easy going and enthusiastic. Australia was beautiful and despite scorching temperatures in the Outback, the weather was ideal for travel. I brought back wonderful memories and many photographs I hope to share in the future.

 

My iPad blogger app was decidedly uncooperative, which explains the lack of posts and the brevity of the entries that I was able to post. I would post a photograph and start to write copy and the app would close, again and again. By the last week of the trip my frustration overcame my resolve. I plan to do a number of posts in February to share the trip, so all is not lost. My only problem is choosing the photographs I want to share. 

 

For the last two days I have been on Sydney time -- waking at 2:00 a.m. after a nap in the afternoon. Miraculously I have stayed awake all day today and accomplished a lot of what I hoped to get done. I still have a long to-do list and I'm optimistic that I can make good head way on it. Biggest chore for tomorrow is definitely laundry, another souvenir of every trip.

 

I appreciate the comments and good wishes on the posts I did during the trip. In the next few days I will choose the winner of the Blogaversary giveaway. February is going to be a fun month. Valentines, Australia, books and an update on No Spend January. Please stop by often.

 

As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.
