Dulles airport is a big scary mess. Spent half an hour just trying to find my way around the place and where to book in. Too many people in too small an area and officials were directing people around like traffic. For an international airport the check-in area is way too small.

Flight home was good. Watched Collateral which was better than I thought it would be. Didn't sleep which didn't surprise me.

Went to the Air and Space Museum on the way to the airport. That was a fascinating place. Seeing an SR-71 up close was a definate highlight.

Melbourne in a couple of days. I've reached a point of having no idea what day it is at the moment. My birthday will sort of happen somewhere at sometime but I've no idea where or when.

Kestrel loved her new ball. Would not let go of it all morning except to play fetch.

New camera has arrived too, which is a relief.
