We’ve finally arrived in Brisbane after a LONG traveling excursion across the world. We started out in Chicago, flew 4 hours to Los Angelas, flew 12 hours to Auckland, New Zealand, and finally flew 3 hours before arriving in Brisbane, Australia. We cannot believe it’s already the 3rd day of our trip! After sorting through luggage, customs (where they did not particularly like our dirty cleats…), and an hour bus ride, we arrived at our new home in Brisbane Australian Sports Complex. It’s completely dedicated to sports and the girls all took advantage of the Olympic-size swimming pool as soon as we settled in. We then went off to the beach area known as Surfer’s Paradise, where we hung out at the beach all day, dividing our time between laying out, swimming, shopping, and playing ultimate frisbee. It was such a great time! Then we came back to the Sports Complex for our team dinner, which was fantastic! Right now, we are all winding down from our long days of traveling as I finish this blog. I think we are all finally adjusting to the time differences and the jet lag is also catching up with us (as it is barely after 7 and we all feel like going to bed). I can guarantee that tonight, we are all looking forward to sleeping in a bed, rather than an airplane seat, as we’ve done for the past 2 days. So that’s all for Days 1-3 of our trip!
