Our flight from Cairns to Sydney was uneventful. We saw a rainbow at the Sydney Airport while waiting for our International flight. We were in the Security line with the AFL (Aussie Rules Football Team); they were heading to South Africa for ten days. Two Asian women tried to get through Security with four bottles of wine and a corkscrew. WHACKERS!

The flight home was not nearly as pleasant as our flight to Australia. First, we were tired, having been awake since 3:00 am. It would have been nice if they had turned down the lights and let us sleep, but most of the travelers were probably from Sydney and had a leisurely morning getting to the airport for their mid-day flight. Secondly, the plane was packed, so there was no room to stretch out.

All in all, Three Sheilas Down Under had a fantastic trip with wonderful memories to share for years to come!
