Left Sydney early morning, and as always saying goodbye to dad/hubby was difficult. Having three “homes” is wonderful, but leaving people in each of them is always hard. Always.

We arrived in California a couple of hours later. The flight was uneventful, for us at least. There were was a medical emergency and a woman who vomited (unfortunately hitting the people sitting in her row.)

We grabbed our car and as we headed out of the car rental parking lot  I noticed the gentleman checking the cars had his car trunk/boot open listening to the Mexico-South Africa game. It’s so great to see everyone so excited about the World Cup.

We arrivied at Uncle David & Auntie Jackie’s a couple of hours later. We were very warmly received by Manaia, their new puppy. Nuno quickly became best friend with her and Kilo.

We were all pretty shattered, so after a shower we all napped.

Waking from the nap was EXTREMELY difficult. But knowing that we were going to have American pizza made it worth it.
