On the opposite side of the world

My daughter Emily is studying abroad in Australia.  She arrived yesterday which is our today and is now onto tomorrow.  We are just figuring out the communication thing because she currently does not have a phone.  It is 4pm today for me and 7am tomorrow for her.  This is exciting for all of us.  And if I must admit, a bit scary for me.  While Emily spends most of her year in Boston, Australia is the farthest she has ever been from home.  Really, really far!

So when I stand up and my feet touch the ground, her feet are touching the ground, our heads aim opposite, and the whole world separates us. Got it? 

g'day, Carol
