In Transit....

I'm sitting here in the Sydney airport with a perfect view of the city in the distance and my plane prepping for the 12 hour flight to Dubai. Jenn and I have been forced to travel alone for the next 24 hours. It turns out that I did not have the tourist visa that I thought I did to stay in Australia. Upon our trip to New Zealand it was discovered that I had accidentally overstayed my tourist visa and my penalty was a 3 year ban from Australia. So, I had to change my flight to Dubai for today so that I could re-enter Australia, in transit, to catch a different flight to Dubai. Jenn and I will meet there on Tuesday and travel together to Spain. The kicker is that I cannot go back into Sydney to pick up my luggage and all of my stuff. I have a carry on bag from New Zealand, but that's it. Jenn promised to pack my tennis racquet. No worries, as they say down under. Happy spring to all of you back home.
