OOL to AKL to LAX to IAD to CHS
It took 28 hours to get to Australia but because I had long layovers in Auckland and Los Angeles it took 38 hours to get home again. I am unable to sleep on planes or in airports so by the time I got to Charleston yesterday morning I had been awake for 42 hours. As much as I would have loved to climb into my bed I knew that if I did it would screw up my internal clock more than it already was so I kept busy and managed to stay awake for another 11 hours. Needless to say I was asleep seconds after my head hit the pillow at 9 last night. I feel great this morning so I hope that I have avoided the effects of jet lag. I'll know more after another good night's sleep.
I have over 300 photos to sort through and I hope to have them posted on Flickr later this week. I'll also post a recap of the trip on the blog in the next day or two. For now I have to rescue Champ and Psycho from the kennel.

Yes, go get Psycho and Champ now! I bet they are really pissed off at you!
Glad you're rested and can't wait to hear all about the trip and see the pictures.
