A half marathon.... with LUGGAGE! :)

We had to check out of the hotel by 10am on wednesday and our flight wasn't until 8:50PM. we had nothing to do and didn't want to go to the mall and just sit around, so we decided to walk the 20k or so to the airport, with ALL of our stuff.

Other than carrying the extra 20 - 25 pounds it was quite an enjoyable walk. Mostly all along the ocean so beautiful views for most of it. It was windy though, and directly in our faces, so that made it a little tougher also. We took plenty of breaks as we were making great time.

We got to the airport right around 4PM and were TIRED and sore. I slept for about an hour, very uncomfortable, and then we checked in around 7PM and waited some more. We got into Sydney at about 10PM and then had to train it home from there. We've been buying the student fares and hoping we don't get asked to show our tickets (because I don't even qualify as a student, go figure) as we would have to play dumb and hopefully get off (as we have in the past). It's a $16 savings though overall! the train sucked because it was so late that service was reduced and we had to wait about 50 minutes at Sutherland to catch our 3rd train. We got home around 1AM! Oyve what a long day!
