Homeward Bound

Sitting in the waiting area to board for the long flight home....I was VERY aware that I was sitting amongst Aussies mostly..even though I was relieved....I was also embarrassed......You see the people that I met in Seattle were of a gentler nature ...not just in the Gospel but everywhere I went......I think Naomi and Luke will notice it even more....... Tony mentioned the same thing as that happened to him as well..... boy there were some rough and loud Aussies boarding on this flight......had a little silent prayer that I wouldn't be sitting near them...and I wasn't.......now don't get me wrong of course not all Aussies are a bit rough on the edges..just take my friends for instance.....it's a hard thing to explain...if you went where I went in Seattle you would know what I mean...we didn't find the same gentleness in Utah even.
Anyway I did as a friend told me to sit at the back which I did and in the middle section and I was blessed with an empty seat next to me..... which made the whole trip so much better......I know I slept a little as twice I became aware of my mouth being open !!!!!!! goodness knows if I snored....no one looked at me funny......but they were only snatches of sleep so my watch told me.
Nearly 11 hours sure can go slow.
I went through all the checkouts just fine got checked for explosives.... everyone did...inside bags as well
as guns had been recently smuggled into Sydney...the guns looked like a mobile....for all my fears that I had..I actually felt fine...Heavenly Father helped me I know....also being sooo tired, I had an couldn't care less attitude...if you know what I mean.
Caught the transfer bus...and I started to feel some funny rumblings in my tummy...I thought better get to the loo as soon as I get off which I did and my gosh ......... oh no not this again.....
There is a story to tell what happened next....but I will let it be untold...luckily I found a Chemist and was able to buy some Gastro Stop......which did the trick....
I thought that I would spend the next three hours walking I felt that I had been sitting long enough....
The journey home of 5 hours was the longest part of the whole trip I cannot ever remember feeling so exhausted and still feeling dizzy...I was at the stage of crying I was so tired...
Thank goodness Tony was in the Airport on arrival I literally fell into his arms....
I have Slept and slept and have only just started to unpack.
I figure that in a day or so I will feel back to normal
Would I do it all over again...only if any of my family asked me to.
Not even for a Holiday.
