Antipodean

antipodes (noun, plural) – places diametrically opposite each other on the globe

This is it.

The suitcases are nearly packed. I had to make some hard decisions about shoes and accessories, but sacrifices must be made, right?

Our Nooks and iPods are charging. No one should get bored.

I bought us all a few small treats for the airplane. No one is starving on my watch.

I’m cleaning house, because who wants to come home to a filthy house?

We land in Brisbane on Monday morning, which is late Sunday night back in the U.S. (East Coast Australia is 14 hours ahead of East Coast U.S.)

I’m not sure when I’ll blog next, but I am looking forward to some antipodean checking in!

    Before we had wood floors, I used to make everyone wait in the car while I vacuumed. I REALLY like to come home to a clean house.

    oooh boy! it sure came up fast! I wondered what antipodean meant…thanks for no googling the def….I too used to clean before we left…top to bottom. I had secret thoughts that I was the only one to do this?! Guess not!
