It's been ages since you've heard from me, so I just wanted to check in and say that, yes, I'm alive. I didn't have time to post anything before I left Austria for Christmas/New Year's/my birthday (so much for a post on Austrian Christmas traditions...you can email me if you're curious!), and I just got back last night from my 2-week trip to Australia. I just did the math, and I was surprised to realize that my super-long trip back--complete with major delays and consequently missed flights--was a total of 40 hours, from Melbourne to Graz. Those of you who know me well also know that I can't sleep on things like planes and trains, so it was a loooong 40 hours. Unfortunately, I had to get up at 5:45 am this morning for my first day at the new school (caffeine and adrenaline are quite possibly God's greatest creations), but surprisingly I'm not a zombie. I have what I like to call "the gift of travel"--that is, I never (ever) suffer from jetlag, simply because my sleeping patterns get too wacked out during travel to get confused by time zones! I still need some time to unpack and organize my photos and stories into a coherent blog entry, so you can look forward to something later in the week. Many greetings from Austria, and you'll hear from me again soon!

Enjoy it while you can, baby!!! It finally hit me this year - after Inner Mongolia/China!
Dahling! Glad you're back safely and don't have trouble with jetlag. A pox on you! It took me fully two weeks to get back to normal after our trip there in Oct. Maybe it's age...sigh.
Air smoochies!

Wow, what a neat photo. Wouldn't it be great if we could all join you in Australia next Christmas and celebrate it together down under, maybe down under water too (scubba-ing). Love, DAD
