HOME SWEET HOME
Well our walk the other day, to get some feeling back in our legs, lead us to Happy Happy Happy Tours on Bui Vien St in Saigon where we bought ourselves a ticket home. Our lack of finances meant we had to cut our trip short.. we never did get the hang of the whole bargaining thing! We got a ridiculously cheap flight from our friends at happy tours and three hours later we were on our flight!
We flew from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok then after a three hour stopover in Bangkok we grabbed our flight to Sydney. This was not as sudden as it all sounds but for the sake of surprising my mother we hadnt mentioned it to anyone or updated livejournal as honestly as we might have. Barry picked us up from the airport yesterday morning and we strolled into the house and onto the deck where my mother was sitting making her jewellery. She didnt have her glasses on so it took a while for her to recognise me. She sat there for a few seconds squinting and trying to place my blur in her memory but eventually she got there!
We have been back for about 24 hours now and it’s nice to be home. At the moment our plan is a bit sketchy but for those who don’t already know Luke and I will be settling in Sydney. We will be back in Melbourne for a couple of weeks around Australia Day (I believe there is a Summit party being planned – contact Shelly) so we will catch up with everyone there before coming back up to Sydney to find work and a place to live. At the moment we are residing in Barrys driveway in the nicest caravan you will ever see. We are completely self contained, although we have barely set foot in there except to sleep.. there is so much news to catch up on here!
We will be seeing everyone soon!!

Welcome home…..
It’s been a great journey to follow you on, I’m sorry you had to cut it short, but hopefully one day you can pick up where you left off
Thanks hedge, glad you enjoyed following us around! its nice to be home but it will be nice to get back to travelling too.. we have plans for India in January next year!
Wow… India would be amazing, especially given you guys interest in the less touristy parts of the world. The back streets of travel, so to speak.
I think first on my list [when I too begin some kind of world wide travel adventure dealie] is like, Peru. Exploring the Peruvian Mountains, Machu Picchu…. be awesome.
That is actually our destination after India.. the following Jan! Maybe we will see you there!
wow, so soon. Welcome home!! heya what is shelley’s email? Cos its my bday on the 27th so maybe we can combine it..? I lost my mobile so I don’t have her number…

Me and Conrad will be in Melbourne from the 27th to 29th of Jan, so hopefully we can catch up!!!!
