We made it! Our house seems bigger and our beds are comfy.  We decided to go on a tour in Brunei - of a hotel room.  It was pouring rain in Brunei so we abandoned the idea of going to the water village and instead spent 9 hours in a hotel eating and sleeping and watching TV and reading and mucking around.  So when we arrived back in Brissie today we were a bit more refreshed.  It's a great feeling to walk out behind the glass doors at the international airport and see  faces you love - thanks Grandma and Grandad for picking us up.

For some reason all the billboards in the corridors at the international airport welcoming people to Australia have funnel web spiders and crocodiles and snakes on them.  Is that to warn people early?  Or to freak them out as they get off international flights bleary eyed and ears ballooning?

We flew into Brisbane at sunrise over Mt Gravatt.  I could see our house and follow Creek Rd up to church.  It felt wonderful to be flying back into home.  Even though our travels were great I have missed home very much.

And this afternoon we picked up our new puppy Scooter.  SHE"S SO FLUFFY!  She has been a wonderful puppy so far - she even put herself to bed at 7.30!
