Destination Sydney






After one hour flight, and a further seven and a half hour flight we eventually touched down in Sydney International. It was the end of a very long journey lasting nearly three years from first mentioning that we might go to sitting here typing this blog. We had our visas stamped and our passports marked "arrived." Liam and Joel ran up the ramp to give us garlands and flags. It was great to see Matt and Sharron there to greet us along with Beth's mum and dad having made the two hour round trip.

Further surprises followed at home with a huge banner! Known to Joel as "apple" due to always being tagged on the end of Beth "and paul" (say it quickly!) and of course being part of the family and having "our" as a prefix the sign obviously says R'apple!..... obviously not to the neighbours who think I'm called Rapple!

It was then back into the car for a trip down to the beach.... I'll only mention it this once but the weather is lovely!
