Voyageur The pilot was really nice. Told me Sydney is his most favorite city to fly to. We started chatting about places to eat and various benefits of different airplanes and cabin pressure. He invited me to chat in cockpit so we didn’t block traffic. Nice guy and he got us to SFO safely.

Our main location for Sydney
We got the tour from our super awesome host. She even was nice enough to discount the day that we were unable to make it, so now we have a little bit of Aussie $$$ toEn savoir plus
Voyageur The fig tree here in the window is massive. The owner says there are all kinds of native birds that stop by like cockatoos and parrots. David just saw one.

Voyageur I almost cried (for joy this time) when the agent (Jacques) found us at security and handed David his first class boarding pass.

David Sallee Things are going much better!
