Princess has a new friend.

Still trying to get over the jet-lag of returning home (for example, my day/night sleeping is still a bit off) which is not so fun now that I'm teaching.  My first day didn't go so hot, but hoping that tomorrow goes better. 

Unpacking is a secondary priority, but this little guy was not going to spend one more night in the suitcase.  After cuddling with Princess for a minute, he is now safely sitting on my desk cheering me on while I work and waiting for Brett to come home. We miss everybody in Australia so much already!

How long is that airplane ride again???

I was asking Brett yesterday if he had any ideas for what he would like to do while we were on all those flights (some short, some super-long) to Australia.  Well, unfortunately he didn't have that many ideas since he hasn't traveled with anybody on such a long trip before.  We talked about maybe a couple of crossword or suduko puzzles, or maybe pick a book that we both would like to read so we could discuss it.  Plus we have a South Australia travel guide that I know I want to go through together.  But, for those of you who have gone on long trips with your significant other, we are looking for ideas!! :-)

One thing I wanted to make sure that we did before leaving was get Brett some sort of travel pillow.  He is always so uncomfortable on airplanes and has never been able to sleep on them.  We've been looking for a while in stores and online and he picked this one (except his is plain navy!).


Hopefully it will help his neck and back pain and let him get some much needed rest on the plane.
