Well it took 16 and a half hours to get from Portland to Sydney but we finally arrived Friday night at 7 pm Sydney time or 2 am Friday morning Portland time. The two flights we took were very long but also lots of fun, filled with movies, games, reading, ipods and eating. Plus we had the hudreds of "are we there yet". In all the kids did great and we all had fun.
On the ride back to my brothers house the kids got the go over the Habour Bridge and Gavin finally got to see "Oprahs House" or in Australia known as the Opera House. Once we arrived at our final destination, my brothers house, all the cousins were there for Gabbie and Gavin to play with, and they were in heaven. It was great to see all the family, especially my sisters kids as they were only babies when we were here in 2000.
We finally go to bed at 11:30 pm Sydney time, which was 6:30 am in Portland. We were all very tired after being up for just over 24 hours, but after a good nights rest everyone is ready for a day of fun playing around the house before we head out and explore Sydney tomorrow.
