3 continents, 2 days


Before heading back to The States, we went on a trip to Australia.  We left the day after school was out, stayed in Melbourne for a week, headed back to China for one night just to grab our luggage and headed to The States the next day.

I knew it was crazy when I booked our flights, but it was the way it needed to happen if it was going to happen and I was up for the adventure!

We left Australia at 10:30 p.m. Friday night and landed in Albuquerque at 6:30 p.m. Sunday night.  3 continents, 2 days...you do the math. :)
 
Our Itineraries
 
It was exhausting, crazy, emotional, nuts, adventurous... a whirlwind... but so WORTH IT.  I'd do it all over again!


My sister, Sarah surprised us with this "Welcome Home" banner along with
some of our favorite goodies that weren't available in China.

IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME!
