My friends just returned from Australia. They shared with us that they had traveled all over your vast country in 29 days. After 9/11/01 they said that every time they said something and their American accent popped out, everyone EVERY ONE, had something kind and comforting to say to them.
They said security at the airport was excellent. Just when they thought they had gotten through the final security gate, they encountered the final check. Every item in their carry-on bags was removed and checked.
They were very happy to oblige.
They will go on to their home today, a small community outside of Boston that has lost two souls in this tragedy.
They are taking with them incredible memories of the kindness and concern of all
Australians and their beautiful country.
