Well we flew back to Sydney from Christchurch NZ last night. We stayed at the NOVATEL in Brighton. This morning we are downloading all the photos we took and are packing proper for the return flight. This has been one of the greatest vacations I have ever taken and it is not just the countries but traveling with my son Jordan. Our flights are at 4PM tonight and I get back in CT on Saturday morning. I stop in San Francisco for about 4 hours and will pick up a few things (sour dough bread) before continuing on to JFK. Its lightly raining here in Sydney but we are going to try to get some panarama shots prior to leaving and post them. To all who read this, I hope you enjoy the photos and if ... read more

After trying to get 2 kids, 3 adults, all of my luggage and a push chair into the car we manage to set off for my new home in the "burbs" of Sydney. We are all hyper trying to catch up on the time lost between May and present day, I'm trying to keep up but the jet lag is starting to tell. We dumped my luggage, 1 adult and 1 child at the house and pushed onto the local car boot sale to catch some bargains. Whilst my neice was on the bouncy castle I chatted to the guy who was taking payment for the ride. "How long have you been here", he asked, "about 2 hrs I replied" amazingly he said "well welcome to Australia" and shook my hand. After returning home we had ... read more

Well sydney is fantastic. seen some sights and have had a few scooners!! we done a river boat cruise one night around the harbor, amazing views. the opera house and the bridge are so big. it was a lovely nite out. another day we climbed the bridge, it was pretty scary at times on the way up & down when you look down and the cars are so tiny. but when you are standing on the top it is a real calm feeling, and of course the views are fantastic, your not allowed to take your camera or anything up in case you drop it and your in a 'lovely' jump suit and attached to a safety wire etc but they took photos for us. one day we had a family day with the malloys. played ... read more

Woke up at 8am and a little sad I miss sunrise an hour ago because I can lay in my bed and see some of the beautiful Sydney skyline AND the Pacific Ocean. I definitely will not want to live anywhere other than a city after this! Don't really have any special plans for today (Monday). Everyone is at Orientation or their Internship, so I figured I will get some laundry out of the way since (apparently) the dryers take over 2 hours to dry your clothes. So, I figured I'd tell you guys a little bit more about Aussie Kulcha (aka culture, just trying to throw in the accent there... haha)! 1. No, the toliet doesn't swirl the opposite way! It actually just kind of flushes straight down. The funny thing about most toliets here ... read more
