New Year's Day

Well, I am on my way back to Australia.  I had a 6 AM flight this morning, so I was not able to go out for New Year’s Eve; however I did stay up with my family to watch the ball drop on TV.  Then I got to keep myself busy during a 12 hour layover in San Francisco.  I have been there several times in the past and done all the touristy things, so I decided to stay at the airport and work on the homework I have for an online class I am taking and far behind in.  Now I am back in Auckland for a much shorter layover than last time.  I just watched the sunrise, which was a nice experience.  When I get back to Melbourne, I’m just going to relax.
