Today Is day 20 and we are HOME!!!!!!!!

Dave is so happy and relaxed and i lovin it
Expo 2010,is what Shanghai is all about
This is for my Auntie Vicki, who was a Coke memrobilla queen.

So our trip from Shanghai to hong Kong uneventful, Zian is a travelling pleasure. We got to Hong Kong with a 30 min transit to be told we had lost our seat with crib in front of us due to a younger child needing it. This was with Cathay Pacific. So i get hot n bothered and request the manager(very hard when language barrier), to be told seats are allocated and sorry. So this had me upset after booking early and paying fee for Zian to travel.

I walked around the boarding lounge to see how many children were travelling and settled myself when i saw quite a few children. Dave not to fazed and Zian well she was just playing.They have a little play area in boarding area.

So we board the flight that was fully booked due to a cancelled Qantas flight to Sydney.

SO we had two seats side by side in cattle class(lol).

I go for walk when allowed to find 4 seats with cribs taken by one couple who had the luxury of using pull down bench for crib as a laptop table and other couple in 40's NO CHILDREN TRAVELLING WITH THEM I DO ADD. So i was cranky.

Nothing could be done so i just went with the flow.

Dave and myself could not sleep one minute and guess who else couldn't sleep. MS ZIAN.

She sleeps 12+ hours every night but not this night.

She was so tired but couldn't get comfortable.

We thought this was stressful until we received email from friends Chuck and Dawn with 3 year old Grace,(that's another story).

We arrive in Melbourne tired and cranky, Pick up luggage, I have a run in with Customs officer, and have a laugh as they are filming Australian T.V show 'Border Security', The kids and i love watching.

Buy our must have purchase at Duty Free and head at to pick up Hire car and GPS.

We are on our way to see our boys!!!!!!

What a wonderful surprise when we arrived my brother Jason had come home from work to welcome us.Thanks Jay that was special for us.

Auntie Peggy, Curtis and Jnr McCallum/Stewart were there with Nanny and of course Jake and tayn.

Tears flowed and Zian Screamed. She was tired and all new to her again.She didn't settle well that day, however next day a new girl.Lots of fun with Curtis and boys,

Jay took the next day off which was so nice again and we went to Melbourne Zoo. Was very hot day topping 38c and dry. We all felt the heat.

Zian bonding with the boys really well and allowing them into her space.This is incredible as it like she knows that they are loving her and will protect her and keep her safe.

She just loved playing with cousin Curtis and all his toys.

They had great bath times together.

Jay and Peggy thanks for the lovely bed.We sleep on heaven those nights. China bedding has the feel of wood and pillows made from what i think is stone. If ever travelling again i would take a blow up mattress for comfort.

Zian is eating well and drinking water, juice and thanks to Kelly for the tip,milk with choc quick.

We left Melbourne happy to head home to our Home!!!!!!!!

The start of family life as normal as it will be for the Poulsen 5.
