Day 16..."The Longest Tuesday" or "We're Heading Home"

This was definitely the longest Tuesday I bet any of us have ever had. We started by saying a tearful good-bye to Tim...then our 1st plane left Cairns at 5:45 a.m. Tuesday. We arrived in Sydney, went through customs since we were leaving the country...and left there on a 10:20 a.m. flight. That was the beginning of our 14 hour flight to LAX.


Notice the Harry Potter book? This is the British version. It came out while we were traveling, so seven of our group bought the book at the Cairns airport.



After we watched the sunrise out the window of the plane, we arrived at LAX at about 7 a.m. on Tuesday...yep, the same Tuesday we left Australia on. We had a layover there...and then came that much anticipated flight to SFO - landing at 12:05 p.m.

It's always nice to go new places and see new things...but then again, it's always nice to come home.
