So one short 14-hour flight, a few rounds of customs and 6 in-flight movies later, we arrived home, weary but glad we were not detained. You may laugh, but we were very lax with the word "terrorist," having freely used it in Australian airports without a care. They let us keep our shoes on when we go through security! Pretty nice, right?
So our last day in Sydney was hot. Literally. It was about 35C there, which is I think 90/95F. either way, it was hot. and what did I decide to do? walk around in the heat. I was determined to go see the Barracks Museum even though it required walking, and it didn't disappoint. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't amazing, but I did learn some cool facts I can now casually add into a conversation. When my friends and I will be talking about female Irish immigrants or solitary confinement bins I'm not sure of, but it'll happen. One day.
Later Maggie, Jess, and I then headed over to the Royal Botanic Gardens for a cake/chip party. It's exactly what it sounds like. We kept on seeing weird flavored chips in the stores that sparked curiosity and repulsion, so we decided to try the weirdest flavors, such as Chicken, Ham, Bacon and Cheese Balls, Burger Rings, Tasty toobs, and Moroccan Chicken and Lemon. Turns out, they weren't so bad. Except for the bacon and cheese ball Cheetos. they were disgusting. we all determined we should write letters to the company suggesting more appetizing names. And the cake, well, come on. It's cake.
So that's about it for the trip. I am now trying to fight my jet lag by staying up until I can't fight it anymore, but it's not working. I have to keep on moving because if I idle longer than ten minutes I start to drift off to sleep.
I'm going to search for caffeine. Thanks for reading this folks. I hope you enjoyed it. I sure did. No I didn't. Just kidding.
PS. here's a tip: never ever eat Vegemite. But don't tell my family. I'm going to make them try it tonight.

I had rosemary chicken chips in the UK because I was too wuss to try a more exotic flavor. They were good but super salty.
