Reiziger 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 $$$ toMeer informatie
Reiziger 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. We are about to do some exploration about town. This place is in a suburb of Sydney so not in city center itself. We’ll post more later.

Tandoori Veggies for Brenda, meat pie for me.
We also got some chips that seemed to be Aussie inspired.
Visited the grocery store and had fun picking up a few items for our week. Brenda wanted toMeer informatie
Reiziger I almost cried (for joy this time) when the agent (Jacques) found us at security and handed David his first class boarding pass. We are not sitting together in first class, but we can deal with that. Jacques, you’re the man!! Thank you for helping us, each of the many times we visited you at the counter.
David Sallee Things are going much better!
