Janna's notes on getting to Australia

Melbourne:  Janna's notes.

Jeff is writing now a great blog for this beginning of our trip, but I wanted to put in a cent or two while he is trying to upload his pictures.

First of all, we are here, it is summer, the days are long and while in Melbourne I wouldn't say it is hot, it is not cold.  The sun is shining, oh joy.  OH JOY!

Catching some rays in Federation Square Melbourne.  Vitamin D never felt so good!


The flight over didn't live up to the horrific expectations we had.  It was actually pleasant and I am considering offering myself up for marketing a product I've stumbled across called No Jet Lag.  I found it at AAA after I heard someone who travels overseas a lot recommended it.

This stuff works.  We were a little tired after 25 hours of travel yesterday but managed to explore the city and eat a late late lunch and then walk some more (Jeff will fill in the details about our adventures)...I did fall asleep at 7:00 pm Melbourne time, but we all woke up at 6 am this morning, Melbourne time.  Voilà.

We can't believe we are in Australia.  To travel all this way and get off a plane and see landscape that is familiar (so far) and hear our own language is a little confusing.  I mean, we just spent a lot of time in a plane to get to a place that feels like Florida...weird.

We are here now and excited to tackle this new continent.  We are so blessed.
