Hello From Oz!

This is the email I wrote to my family from the plane and the airport and was going to recreate it as a blog but my new friend Jet Lag is telling me if I want to write about today then I should call up my old friend Copy and Paste. :D

Hello!
I'm writing this at your 11 o'clock, my 4 am. This flight is definitely a long one! Sleeping was okay but definitely squished! We're about to fill out the forms to get through customs and I'm trying to finish my incredible chocolate birthday cake and auntie k's cookies so they don't get taken away! Steph has lots of things planned for this weekend and I imagine I'll be pretty dang tired at the end of our day but I'm so excited for it!!
We flew over some island a while ago and it was so cool to see so few lights clustered together out in the middle of so much darkness! This is all pretty incredible and still soo surreal.
Haha. I just noticed I'm using an excessive amount of exclamation points. Can you tell I'm excited!? It's amazing just being in this space with no real idea of what's ahead and at the same time not really trying to figure it out, just knowing it's going to be an incredible adventure! True nature of living in the moment <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="br">

It's your 12:30 my 5:30 :)
And there is an incredibllllllle sunrise out the window!

We've landed safely! 6:30am Sydney Australia
We're on another continent, in another timezone, in the opposite hemisphere!
I'm sitting next to the window where some of the bags are being taken out from under the plane. Ben and I guessed about 700 people on this thing~ crazy! This whole machine is crazy to think about, also, that was the smoothest landing ever. It feels strange to not be moving after all the jostling of the last 14 hours! Well we're off to meet up with Steph and start the day!

I was hoping to connect to airport wifi but it didn't work. So now we are with Steph in her cute place with beautiful views from the windows and Steph has making us quinoa flakes ("porridge" ~ very delicious) and tea. Then we'll start our day!
