joking (i.e. getting pissed for 24 hours) aside, I do find that coming back from OZ (in one go) is much less painful than going there (in one go). accept your point re US (where always found the same, i.e. west is easier) being closer etc but deffo "suffer" for 3/4 days on way out there whilst usually ready to tackle email inbox day after return.
