Elhamdulillah I've arrived in Melbourne safe and sound on October 12th after a 33 hour journey! I flew with Malaysia Airlines and I have to say they rock! The seats were awesome, the crew was awesome and the food was rather good. I landed in Malaysia after an 12.5 hour flight. I had a 13 hour lay over in the airport before I had to catch the next plane. They have an hotel right inside the airport, Airside Transit Hotel. I booked a room for 9 hours and slept 8 hours there. The hotel was great as well. Large comfy bed, TV, bathroom with a bathtub! I killed rest of the time eating and walking around the airport. Then I caught my next flight to Melbourne. After 7 hour flight (and lots of fun with the "select" TV built into the back of each screen) I landed in Melbourne 7 AM in the morning. Everything went smoothly with immigration and customs. I went through a large metal door and BAM there was ACA waiting for me. I had a hard time letting go of hugging him so I could have a look at his face. My in laws are incredible! ACA says he never seen his mom prepare breakfast like this! We went over to their house for breakfast then we came home. I've been asked what I was most looking forward to. This was before the wedding etc. I said "landing in Melbourne, going to our house, and closing the door" And I can confirm that was the best part of this entire journey. Finally arriving home. ACA went back to work on Wednesday. I've been on cleaning organizing mode for the past three days. Mom would have been proud! After writing this entry I will go clean the stove. I think the renters before us never cleaned the darned thing. My hand got stuck on the knob when I tried to turn on the stove! I cooked our first dinner yesterday. My attempt at cooking was sabotaged by the afore mentioned stove. You have to push a button to ignite the burners. However the electricity to the button is provided by a battery. While trying to get the battery to work so I can use another burner the burner that was working went out. This was the burner the pasta was boiling (what you didn't think I would be making lobster thermidor on my first cooking attempt!). So I was stuck with a pan of half boiled pasta and a stove that won't light up! Thankfully ACA bought a lighter on his way home from work so we were able to cook the rest of the meal. I did manage to burn my finger on the lighter of course.The evil stove, with it's companion "Baroness the oven" kelebek }{
