The long and winding road back to Oz...

This is what we left Montreal in on Sunday afternoon. A harrowing 1.5 hour journey to the airport (that usually takes 30 minutes!), that included a detour back to Nicky's when Alicia noticed that I had grabbed her mom's shoes when I left the house instead of my own!!! I was not popular in the car, let me tell you!

Then the "hurry up and wait" at the airport on the tarmac for "de-icing" which made our trip to Toronto (the first leg) 2 hours instead of one ... full of worry if we and our checked baggage would make it to Sydney airport. Well, the good news is ; we made it in plenty of time and so did our luggage! The flight left Toronto and then Vancouver on time; with us in our lovely business class seats! No worries and no complaints!
We were sad to leave our loved ones again, however once we got to the Gold Coast Airport in Coolangatta and felt the heat and wonderful humidity of this warm climate, well it did a lot to soothe our sadness...
So, yesterday I went grocery shopping and the cashier at the Woolworth food store asked me if I had been away for the past couple of weeks as he had not seen me around? I do believe that we are quickly becoming locals around here!
