Here we are at the end of our trip. We are about to comence our long journey home, where we will visit the airports of just about as many countries as we have visited in the last 3.5 months. Its a long trip.

In our last few days in Australia we enjoyed the warm weather in the Gold Coast. After Byron Bay we spent one night in Coolangatta and caught a flight back to Sydney early Tuesday morning. After spending the day at Brents cousins place, we caught a late afternoon train to Wollongong, a university town about an hour south of Sydney. Brent's friend Grant hosted us for the evening. The next morning we went for a hike up Mount Kerra, which was quite an adventure. The cab driver who drive us to the base of the mountain was crazy, and we got a little lost on the way home. We took the train back to Sydney in the afternoon and had our last seafood meal.

Today we set out on our journey home, it will be approximately 48 hours of travelling. But we are both excited to get home and not live out of a backpack anymore. Our own beds, home cooked meals, and the company of other people are at the top of both our lists...of course and our dogs.

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!!

We have just gotten off our flight to Singapore. Travelling for 30 hours takes alot out of you, but we made it, managed to sleep a bit have arrived safe. Our next plan is get through customes, and find our bags. We got $400 bucks to switch onto a flight from Chicago into Japan then to Singapore. So we galdly, but had to miss out on Hong Kong.
Bye for now!
