Comments on: Reflections after a smooth landing http://www.matthewriddle.com/2008/02/07/reflections-after-a-smooth-landing/ Home is Australia, but I'm currently living and working in the UK.

I've been reading regularly, but I'm as hopeless about leaving comments as I am about e-mailing... ;) I just wanted to say hi, & I hope you're both getting settled back in Melbourne now! I hope "home" actually feels like home again -- I always find switching between countries terribly disorienting, especially when you leap from the depths of winter into the height of an Australian summer. Business class is certainly the way to go though, huh? When we flew to Aus in 2003, we went on frequent flyer miles, and it ended up being "cheaper" to fly business class than to fly coach! Amazing -- I never knew it could be that comfortable to fly, and like you, I found myself thinking "It gets BETTER than this??" I'm so glad you were able to return home in such style! ;) Astrid. :) Congrats on getting back home at last!
