Joyous times Down Under

Finally!!!! Colleen made it in today. She's frazzled, jet lagged, and feeling like she could sleep forever, but she's here safe and sound. It turned out that her flight was unable to land in Melbourne initially due to fog and rain at the airport. Not exactly something you want to hear after a 16 hour flight. She ended up being diverted to Syndey for refueling, since I am sure the plane had to be running on fumes. That added an additional two and a half hours to her odyssey. She's now taken over camera duties for the remainder of this sojourn. That means I'll likely start posting pictures with these entries, or at least have more interesting photos than the ones I have put out to this point. :)

Tonight is the Australian Open Ball. I have been told that bands like INXS have played, but the entertainment isn't as significant as the party itself. I have my tuxedo, so look for pictures of that to show up out here soon.

Johnathon was very nice to let me come in as late as I did. I felt guilty, but was at the airport for 3 hours, 2 more than I had intended.

Well, going to sign off for now. More to come soon enough.

Cheers.
