Sorry, should have warned you about the beagles. We got busted this trip because they smelled the apple that had been in kathryn's bag BUT HAD ALREADY BEEN EATEN. The downside is you get the Stamp of Doom on your customs card, so the nice quarantine chaps who go down the queue saying "here, you can go out without being xrayed" can't do so (actually, one did anyway, but we promptly got sent back, but he nicely let us cut the line through the special business and firstclassonly line). Sydney has become obnoxious, they never used to xray everyone but they started doing it a couple of years ago...did they buy enough xray machines? OF COURSE NOT. GRR. The last two times I've been through the line has been absurd.

We also got buste in NZ because Kathryn's hiking boots showed up in the xray and she had to show that no, they were not covered in mud. Oh well.

Sounds like it was a Fun Trip, but look, it can only get better right?
