Civilization and IKEA!!!!

Well, I made it!!! And I sure ain't in Kansas anymore! (Shoutout to T) Stepping into the Adelaide airport was almost shocking. It's not nearly as big or crazy as Atlanta but I was overwhelmed!

Surreal. A bit dreamlike. Then it came to me. I haven't been in a crowd (larger than the one at our dirty little K-Mart) for about a year. And there was food...everywhere. I should have stopped to eat but I was afraid that if I didn't follow the cattle line to baggage "reclaim", I would get lost. I'm out of crowd practice.

I made it to the hotel pretty easily. Luckily Harpuneet (my taxi driver) didn't wreck when we passed IKEA and I screamed. A quick trip through the drive-thru bottle shop and I had wine and Diet Coke. What more does a girl need?

I took pictures of Harpuneet. What a good sport he was. I'm sure he was thinking "Crazy American". I insisted on riding in the front. Made him wait while I picked out my wine. Drove him crazy with questions on the way to the hotel (he didn't talk much). Then I took his picture without really asking.

Sadly, I forgot my camera cord. You'll have to wait until the weekend to see Harpuneet or any more of my adventure.

Back home everyone is doing well. Jason is way more organized than me. He says it's because he has nothing else to concentrate on like I do. I think he's just trying to be nice.

Stay tuned for a post on a "big girl" conversation that Jason had with Gracie in the car yesterday. J described it as "girl DNA on display". Catchy title.
