I made it!! It is 12:30 pm on Wednesday May 26th and I am sitting in our Marriot hotel room overlooking Sydney Bay. I haven't seen much of Sydney yet, only the airport and a little bit of downtown on the way to our hotel room. The weather is very rainy, much like Seattle, so it's nothing I can't handle.
My trip kind of started out rough in LA as my Visa was accidently purchased and put on my old passport instead of my new one. Fortunatly, after some stress and tears, Quantas took good care of me and bought another one for the new passport. The 14 hour flight from LAX to Sydney was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Each person had their own personal TV which was armed with hundreds of movies, television shows, games, and music. I got probably about 6 hours of sleep which was great because it killed a lot of time. We landed in Sydney at 6:30 am this morning (Sydney time) and stopped at the Duty Free to pick up some "goodies" (I got carded. . of course) and then went through an easy customs. We got our bags and took a shuttle to the hotel where we were just in time for a continental breakfast. Since we arrived at the crack of dawn (literally) our room is not ready yet and so we are hanging out in an early check in room. We all took showers and are getting ready to slug through the day at the Sydney Opera House. We're planning on getting back to the hotel, maybe eat a little dinner, and head off to bed around 7. I am exhausted but so far I love it here. I can't wait to explore more of this foregin city!! Thanks for reading, more to come later.
