This entry it going to be a mess because I can barely stay awake right now. Thanh and I arrived in Sydney around 10AM Sydney time (that's 4PM Thursday east coast time). In our efforts to beat the jet lag, we're trying not to sleep until evening tonight. So despite the fact that we're both exhausted, we've tried to fill our day with activity just to stay awake.
Getting here was definitely not half the fun. Under the best of circumstances, flying from New York to Sydney is not easy. When the trip starts out with your plane sitting on a runway in Newark, not taking off for almost two hours, you know it's going to be trouble. Since I only had two hours in LA until my Sydney flight left, the chances of making my next flight were almost gone. Luckily for me, Thanh was waiting in LA and (being the genius she is) she noticed how late my flight was and moved us both onto a flight two hours later than our original LA to Sydney flight. We made that one with little trouble, and 28 hours after leaving New York, we’d arrived at Thanh’s Mother’s house in Sydney.
After grabbing a delicious lunch courtesy of Thanh's Mother, we headed to downtown Sydney and walked around to some of the big sites (Circular Quay, Opera House, our precious “Toaster”). Of course, someone who only a few hours earlier had seemed to be a genius, forgot the camera, so no site seeing pics today. We ran a few more errands, stopped by one of Thanh’s old favorite happy hour bars for a drink, and now are only a short while from sweet, uninterrupted sleep. I'll be dreaming of Koalas and Kookaburras.
I tried to look at some of your archived photo's but they require that I know your user name and password. Why keep them for the public to see? Great site from what I've seen so far
