On October 30, 2008 we set off on the long journey to Oz. We left from Bloomington and traveled with our 14 suitcases and a box to Chicago--to Los Angeles--to Auckland--to Melbourne. When we left we were bright-eyed and cheery and when we finally landed in Australia we just wanted to crash. Because of the time change we had to force ourselves to stay up all day to make the adjustment the easiest. At 6 o'clock Dawson, Kyndal, and I were all asleep on the couch. Dawson never even woke up to eat dinner.
