The lowdown

Feeling a little bit better about England than i was last night. Hoorah for that!
Lets do the low down on the trip shall we? The photos are going up onto Facebook as i type (as long as it doesnt fail again like it was doing before *shakes head in woeful manner*)
I forget where i was up to in the story, we went to Singapore, then to Sydney, met all of Ellens family (had many many meals out with them), went to Cairns / Palm cove, to the Great Barrier reef, swam with the sharks, fed a Kangaroo, ate a Kangaroo (not the same one ... would defeat the purpose of feeding it) went back to Sydney, rested a little (not much) went to Uluru (Ayers rock), Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), Simpsons gap, climbed many many mountainous ridges, gorges and canyons, learnt that the Grand Canyon is actually a gorge, climbed across a fallen tree and up through some rocks Indiana Jones style, slept under the stars in the Southern hemisphere, heard dingos calling the next night and decided to sleep in the tent, travelled back to Sydney, went to Bondi beach, decided i preferred Manly beach, made many many many hilarious jokes with Eliot over being in a place called 'Manly' along the lines of 'would you like to take a Manly tour Eliot' 'Why yes i would Soph but no asking for directions, thats not the Manly way!' .... ah Manly. Then we flew back to Singapore (8 hour flight, 2 hour time difference) for the night, landed at 9pm Singapore time, got to the hotel at 11pm Singapore time (1am Sydney time) got up at 5.30am singapore time to get back to the airport, transfer was late so checked in an hour before not the recommended 3 hours BUT luggage was the first off the plane. 13 hour flight to London Heathrow, remembered that i dislike Heathrow airport with a passion, another lane was in our bay (!!) and we had to circle a bit before being allowed to landed, so after landing the plane (i kid you not) circled the block trying to find another parking space, got through to boarder control and as ALWAYS the UK and EU line was SO long that it made me wonder if it would have been quicker to apply for US citizenship, get a greencard and a passport and go through the Non-EU passport line. Im actually not sure how that is possible, ever single boarder control i go through im in the longeest line, Singapore - the Singaporeans were walking straight through and we had to queue for ages, Oz, the Aussies had like one person in front of them, America, HUGE queue for non nationals, 10 people for US passports, i watch them, the system is pretty much "Ah Mr Bush, US citizen i can tell by your Tshirt, Welcome home Sir" Whereas a Brit trying to get back into our country is tested by how long they are prepared to queue for "Miss Pinwill, well you queued successfully for 2 hours without cutting in line and stayed adament that switching queues for be a mistake in the long run, whilst performing the manditory moaning, you are definately British, the tea is to your right"
*sigh*
Have not slept for 2 days am now jet lagged (im awake at 5am)
and i most desperately need a job
