Australia, NZ and LA

We're back. Well, sort of. We're at a hotel in LA, waiting for our flights later this week and in the meantime we're touring Little Tokyo, getting into deep shit with our editors (at least, I am) and preparing to hide out tomorrow because our horoscopes say all hell is going to break loose.
But in the meantime, let me tell you the ten best things about Australia and New Zealand.
1. The people. Fabulous, warm, wonderful people. I want to move there.
2. The sun and the water in Australia, including the opera house, the sandy beaches, the warm breezes. Just amazing.
3. Shopping at the Harbourside and finding Asian style clothes that actually fit me.
4. Eating seafood and fish and chips.
5. Our elegant hotel rooms in Sydney
6. The warmth of the Kiwis.
7. The fabulous people of Harlequin Mills and Boon Australia, in particular the divine Stuart MacDonald. Here's a photo of the two Stuarts:
8. Koalas and Thorny Demons (the latter sound like hero material to me)
9. Spending time with Jenny Crusie
10. Coming back home to my family.

Number ten is always the best thing about any trip. Right now I'm so zonked out by jet lag that I can hardly breathe, but tomorrow, our day of retreat.
The rest of you -- watch out for falling rocks tomorrow. It's a good day to avoid all that trouble that's just waiting to pounce.
Because as Jenny says, nothing but good times ahead.
