I have been in Australia for 5 weeks relaxing with family and friends over Christmas. I must say it was absolutely fantastic to be back home. It would seem that I have got some killer jet lag this time. This is the first time I have ever experienced it and it is very NOT cool! I broke my own rule, stay awake all day and go bed at like 8pm in the country you have just landed in. I got in at 5 and got home by 8 and thought I would have 2 hours sleep. I slept through my alarm and woke at 2 and since then I have been waking at strange times. Usually going to bed at 8 and waking at 10! Then eventually get back to sleep at about 12-1 then wake at 6am. Needless to say I am still very tired.

All I can say is thank god I was over in Australia 5 weeks! On a side note I got a text message this morning at 1:30am that woke me up telling me I was going to be an Uncle today so I am guessing my sister has gone into labor, so I am waiting for any news! Best of luck Marion and Tiago!
