I'm Home!!!!!
Well.....we made it!! I have been home now for exactly 17 hours and 6 minutes!!
We had an awesome trip from Orlando to Melbourne. From Orlando to LA, flew 1st Class!!!
From LA to Sydney then on to Melbourne, it was Business class and I have to say, (no i-told-you-so's anypan)....Its gonna be bloody rough the next time we have to travel and can only afford cattle class!!!
We both slept really well on the LA - Sydney leg. Boy, getting the sleep on that leg makes a huge difference to how you arrive in Oz.
We lasted being up all day until about 9.30pm this evening before we both zonked out....but now its 2.50am and I am awake again
Overall though...I feel fantastic being home....Paul says he is feeling "calm" about the whole thing so, hopefully that is a good sign....time will tell I guess...
Will post more of our experiences with getting Paul set up over here as they happen....

I have to say that the way you managed to get business class is certainly original!
Glad to hear you're safe and in one piece.
