Day number 2,3?????

We have been flying forever so excuse us if we have lost count of the day.  Between all the hours in the skies and the time difference, all we know is today is October 28th and we are in Perth with Russ, who is suffering from the flu.  He is trying to be a gracious host but he has the chills and I am sure he would rather just crawl in his bed which he has offered to us for the duration of our stay.  It is as windy here as it was when we left and Russ is on the seventh floor of his building so the past two/three days just seem like a dream, except Dave and I are extremely tired (even though the rest of our flights were very smooth and we did catch some zzzz's) and until minutes ago rather dirty  (we just both took a shower).  Anyway, we are hoping for better times in the next few days when we hope to take in some of the sights of Perth.  Today we did meet Russ' boss, Dirk, and the rest of his coworkers.  Those are always good people for parents to meet!
