I had the worst night sleep I had had for the entire trip. I woke up a number of times during the night for not explainable reason. So much for a good nights sleep! My body was getting used to the lack of rest, apparently!

We drove to Iversen Terrace to go through the changes we had made with Steve. He was happy with what was there, and picked it up quickly. We then drove to Hornby, where we had a few things to do – they had purchased a new computer so that needed configuring, and I also needed to install new drivers on their Player Login computers. This all went fairly smoothly.

Mark then drove us to the airport, where we paid for our excess baggage (6kg over between us) and managed to get exit row seats at no extra charge (on JetStar!!!). We went through immigration, and sat in the foot court, where we had brunch (at 1.45pm – so we were quite hungry). I’m looking forward to getting back in to a normal eating routine.

Eventually the plane arrived and it was boarding time. I had a fantastic time, saw some great sites, met some fantastic people, and would do it all again in a heartbeat….but I’m ready to go home, clean clothes, work from my desktop instead of laptop, and generally get things underway for my Japan trip in January.

The flight back to Oz was uneventful. A couple of drinks, and some more reflecting. We caught a taxi to Brett’s, where I picked up the van and drove home, with much unpacking to do, and some very happy memories.
