AUSTRALIA DAY SIXTEEN 3/18/19 “Home Sweet Home, Faster Than a Speeding Bullet”

by reissmd, posted in Australia, Uncategorized

This was a very interesting trip. As you might recall on our way to the land down under we lost a day. Yes, March 3, 2019 was eliminated from our existence. Well on our way home we will accomplish a feat that even my favorite superhero, Superman, would be hard pressed to duplicate. If all goes as planned we will leave Sydney on Monday at 11:15 AM and arrive in Los Angeles,on Monday at 7:00 AM. Yes we will arrive more than 4 hours before we leave. Okay, Man of Steel, let’s see you top that.

There were some other things that I thought a bit curious during our trip that I don’t think I previously mentioned. If there is a duplication please forgive me, my editor is doing some rather unimportant activities while I write. She has been sleeping, packing, and making sure we have our tickets and passports.

LAX Bradley Terminal collecting water bottles. Gratefully the Aussies are not this nutty and we got to take our water from one hot city to another.
I asked our guide what in the world is Parrot Pake? It sounds horrific.
He said it is Carrot Cake.
Do you think Mr. Trump would like this sign?
7/11 Stores seem to be everywhere in Australia.

Starbucks are all over too, but oddly are frequently empty.
Kobe Bryant in Melbourne.
I guess “No Junk Mail” is not a valid request.
EMU not EMOO
Koalas: They just eat leaves and sleep most of the day. What a wonderful life.
$5 to touch a python? They must be kidding, they’d have to pay me a lot more than that.
A bit far to travel for a Brooklyn T-shirt.
But not too far to come for a haircut.
You just have to love Australians, look they combine Burgers and Concrete.
And they love us Yanks. They even warn us when we cross the street.
Time to head for the plane. So that is all for this trip. G’day mate.

  1. Hilarious and diverting as usual! And speaking of diverting, we NEEDED to be sidetracked from our dismayingly protracted kitchen remodel from hell…! 😱

    Excellent report-out!

    We enjoyed your blog of ’Tomorrow Land.”

    A little disappointed that you only covered a small porting of the 2,969,907 square miles that is Australia.

    No crocodiles, black poisonous snakes, boa constrictors or old mine shafts. Maybe next time.

    All the best,

    Linda and Laurence
