Checking in from Melbourne:

Got home around midnight, flying through the storm was fun. It’s funny how the quick drops in altitude can make everyone gasp and scream. It’s like a giant musical instrument.

Vietnam is amazing.! It was great seeing all the locals out and about celebrating New Year with family..

It’s also nice to sleep in my own bed and see Jimmy the fat baby again

Welcome back!

The storms were defiantly crazy and heavy last night, hope it didn't freak you out while you were still in the air.

Welcome home!

Coming back from tassie many years ago we had to wear seatbelts most of the way in this pissy little Ansett plane because of turbulence due to a storm. It was like 4wding in a mini bus hopping over potholes. Not ideal for my very first return flight home from interstate.
