Farewell Australia

My last day in Australia. I can't believe it's come to this so quickly, and how incredibly much I don't want to leave. I think my myriad of complex feelings about the end of my adventure are best expressed in haiku form.

Walk sadly towards plane
Backpack chafes sunburnt skin
Vacation: over

Memories in my mind
Like sand fly bites on my skin
Never go away

And then one more haiku for the next dismal hours of my life:

Thirteen hour flight
Leaves afternoon, lands morning
Time travel, but dull

See you all in the States.
