We left just after 9:30 and had an uneventful drive back to Sydney with an hour or so break at Peter's in Newcastle. Tats and I had to kill a few hours in the airport, but that wasn't too great a burden, especially when we found some TV sets showing the Australia versus England rugby test. We boarded the plane and were fortunate to have been given a couple of extra seats each.
The next thing we knew, we were back in Japan, and the sun had set on our excellent 8-day holiday. It was hectic and busy and tiring and all of those things, but we had some great experiences, caught up with a hell of a lot of friends and family, and generally couldn't have asked for more (except maybe a fish!). We couldn't have achieved nearly as much without the extremely generous help and kindness of many people. So, just in case they look in on this blog at any time, I need to especially thank for their help in one way or another the Austens, AG, the Satos, the Mizushimas, Bobby E., Peter & Anne, David Lamotte, Chris & Chris, and last but not least, dear old Mum and Dad.

Oh crap, that's twice now I've posted a comment and my stupid server has dropped out - grrrrr.
Anyway, what I'd said was thanks for sharing your holiday experience and the pics with us. I reckon you mum looks much younger than 80 and has lied about her age just to get you home for a visit.
Hope you got home safe and sound.
I bet they were just as sad to see you go!! Home sweet home!
