We're Back!!

Nothing like paraphrasing The Shining to start a blog - sounds rather ominous this return to Oz. Speaking of which, Zermatt struck me as a kind of Oz - but more of one from the Wizard of Oz - with midget vehicles and quaint little huts etc. - seemed rather other-worldly.  We made it to Geneva without a hitch, then checked in at British Airways only to discover that our travel agent hadn't booked us through to Adelaide. I realize Jen and I should check through these things before leaving and ensure all is organized, but given we were leaving from Adelaide one would assume that we would be returning there - obviously not the assumption of the travel agent. Once discovered though I quickly got onto the iPhone and with less than 20% battery left,  quickly booked a connecting flight at a fairly reasonable rate (suprisingly) and all was sorted. The flights went well into Sydney and we caught up on some recent movie releases such as the Invention of Lying - great flick - very humerous and tongue in cheek, Wolverine - the Origins, and It Might Get Loud - a 'rock'umentary about the Edge, Jimmy Page and the lead singer/guitarist of the White Stripes - very inspiring. Jen got into the girly flicks like He's Just Not That Into You and Bride Wars - which she indicated weren't much different in theme or storyline for that matter. The kids are a tad exhausted and a bit batty at present - looking forwards to some serious rest. We should be set up and ready to go in Murray Bridge by tonight and hopefully to work by Wednesday.
