home again home again jiggity jig...

Aaaaaaah, home SWEET home!  It's just wonderful to be home.  It was quite an adventure getting here but we finally arrived on Friday the 24th of June.  It took us an extra week.  With all the excitement of the volcano we were concerned our flight home would be cancelled but after calling the airlines they told us the flight from Rio to Buenos Aires was still going.  BUT then when we arrived in Argentina we were told that the flight to Australia had been cancelled!  So we were put up in a nice hotel, where we spend 5 nights.  We spent our time eating, having baths (Estella & Minol), and watching tv.  Whoohoo.  Here's a few pics of our time in Argentina.  We then were able to fly from Argentina, going the long way stopping to refuel in Thailand, then on to Brisbane (instead of Sydney as planned).  Then to Sydney where we spent 2 nights and had a bit of fun taking the kids to the wildlife park and aquarium. And FINALLY we had the green light to Hobart!  Aaaaaah, what a week!  Funny how it's been almost 2 weeks back and it feels as if we never left!  So much to blog about though, so many photos... where to begin????  Will think it over and might find some time to record a few happenings.
