So it has been just over a week now since Heidi left and while it has been fine having us both on other sides of the world again, there is just under 3 weeks left to go until we are back on the same continent.

I have been relatively busy with most of the last week or so spent doing stuff for my folks. I did get one chance to go plane spotting already (had to drop off the rental car at the airport so did some plane spotting at the same time) and have spent some time with some friends as well so that has been great. But most of my time (especially this week) has been spent playing chauffeur to folks.

While it is an easy job driving them around, it does get tiresome at times but I have some time scheduled to see my friends next week and tomorrow, so will spend as much time as I can doing the stuff that I need. In about 2 weeks I will be down in Sydney for Anzac day and then it will be only a matter of days left in Australia before I head back to the USA.

I have started doing a little bit of shopping for stuff that I want to take with me back to the USA food wise, figuring out as well some of the non food items I want to take back (managed to get both of the Queensland Starbucks mugs). At least I already have a suitcase ready to take home! Though the hard part will be figuring out exactly what I can and can’t take back!
