On our last night in Aussie, we went to an all-you-can-eat SUSHI BUFFET! (Bahareh, I thought about you the whole time). Amaaazing. I ate so much I never thought I’d say I’ll never touch sushi again. Last night we transitted in Auckland for 6 hours where we went out and visited Uncle Patrick and more family and friends. It was so wonderful to spend that time with them. We are in Samoa now, YAY! and it’s so beautiful to see our family together with Tara. Because the internet is slow here, pics will be veeeeery slow to upload. In the meantime, I can practise my writing skillz (as long as no one QC’s it).

It’s been so wonderful for Tara joon to spend time with Aunties Nava, Sahar and Ioana. Here are some random shots of our time here. Today we’re off to Melbourne for a day to visit more fambam.

We had a family-get together lunch at Mark and Julie’s apartment. It was so good to see the family again and for them to meet Tara. Doesn’t the dessert Aunty Kaye made look delish?
This is Saba checking the bottom of the car after he went on the wrong side of the road and ran over the road island to get back on track…the car was fine, and we were too. Something to laugh about now.
Visiting the Rameshnis. Such a wonderful visit. Isn’t Chiko adorable in this pic? He was so intrigued by Tara joon, and he of course remembered Saba.
Nap time with Aunty Sahar and Ioana
Today Saba, Tara, Ioana, Sahar and I headed down to the Gold Coast to visit Aunty Nava. It’s so nice for us to spend time together as a family and for the three musketeer aunts to spend time with their neice. Pics to follow of course!

36 hours of traveling later, we’ve made it to Brissy safe and sound. Tara was a great flyer and just lost it a couple of hours from landing here. She, like her mama & papa, is a little out of sync with the time difference, but it’ll only get better with time. Singapore Air never fails to disappoint and took very good care of us. While Tara slept I managed to watch “Click” (hmmm, uh, yeah movie), half of a Bollywood flic, and the beginning of another movie. The food just kept coming and coming. We spent a couple hours at the Sing airport where we showered and shopped. Here to meet and greet us at the Brissy airport were Tara’s beautiful, squeelly aunties, Ioana and Nava. It’s so nice to be with family again.

So today we went to Tel Aviv via train to lodge Tara’s emergency passport and her actual one at the Australian embassy. She was such an easy-going traveller and loved the vibrations and noises around her, which knocked her out for almost the whole ride there and back; this was a good test to see how she might hack our vaycay trip. When we reached Tel Aviv, it was pouring pouring rain, and there was a huuuuge line of people waiting to catch taxis outside the station. Israelis are so helpful because upon seeing that we had a baby out in the rain and cold (they were prolly wondering what the heck are these parents thinking?! [don't worry she was bundled up and warm and covered]), they started their custom yelling, and it turned out that they were yelling for people to make way for us to take the next cab. So nice. Saba returns tomorrow to pick it up, 12 hours from our departure. Can you feeeeeel the excoitment???
