Well, we’ve made it back to our New York apartment safe and sound. We arrived here at about 10:40 PM, and true to New York style, headed downstairs to grab some sushi! Ahh, the city that never sleeps.
Early in our trip, I managed to pick up a stomach bug from somewhere. Still don’t know where it came from, but it caused me to yak up my lunch in one of the lavvies on the plane in Sydney. We hadn’t even taxied out of the airport! We had forked out for Wagamama’s for lunch, and let me tell ya something – spicy noodles are not fun to yak; not only do they burn, but they’re all slithery in your throat. Thankfully, we had a row of 4 all to ourselves from Sydney to LA, so I lay down for most of the trip home. Sleep was off and on, but at least lying down I didn’t feel sick!
Now that we’re home and showered, I’m feeling a somewhat better – my stomach certainly isn’t complaining so much, I’m holding down food, and the burning in my chest seems to have disappeared. God bless Pepto Bismol!
So I’m back to work tomorrow, but now almost 12:30 AM and I’m still not tired… perhaps I slept a little too much on the plane?!

Mate hang in there…State of Origin is only 6 hours away!
Glad you made it back safely. And I am guessing your bags also made it with you? After all that was a concern of Kristy’s considering you were taking 3 different airlines!
wow – werent u sick last time u went over as well. Someone’s telling u sumfin.
Jas – Would you believe that the games aren’t on Fox Soccer this year?! Well game 1 certainly isn’t, anyway. I’ll have to see if I can download it from bigpond.
Michelle – Yup! Thankfully, all bags made it through intact. I was most surprised, after they got lost going to Sydney!
DD – You’re absolutely right, though I was much sicker last time, and technically I got sick in Australia this time. But still, you may be onto something there, perhaps the States are dodgy…
Not one to be left out, I’ve been sick today. And honestly sick too, not just sympathy sick. We’re making thai chicken soup tonight to ease our troubled bellies…
That sucks that you have both been sick. We hope you feel 100% soon. Can’t wait to see you in a couple of days.
Did you eat on JAL?????
Nope! We slept through their breakfast service completely. So we’re not sure quite where we got the bug, could even be viral I guess!
