A summary

Sitting in the Qantas Lounge at Sydney's airport. Our morning flight from Queenstown was uneventful. My six week adventure to Oceania all but over.

We have a long wait in Sydney; tonight at 10 we will be flying to Melbourne, where we will overnight, then in the morning we'll catch our U.S. bound flight to Los Angeles, where, after yet another 4-hour layover, we will finally the last big bird to Logan Airport. Back to winter, and the daily grind. We are however very much looking forward to seeing the kids and the pets.
