Busted Day

April 18, 2011

Since we have been over here, we have had pretty good luck choosing activities that appealed to us.  Today was the first day that we have done something that I just sort of felt, "eh" about.  Taking the ferry over to Manly was something that I read about on tripadvisor, and, definitely wanted to do.  […]

A Day in the Rocks

April 17, 2011

We spent the majority of today hanging out in the area around our hotel, which is known in Sydney as “The Rocks.” First, we started out at The Rocks Discovery Museum. This museum gave us a little background of the area.  Plus, it was free – which was very much appreciated in this city where […]

Rainy Bike Ride

April 16, 2011

Danny and I were both SUPER amped about our bike tour around Sydney.  It seemed like such a good chance to get out and see a good part of the city while getting around via our favorite method of transportation.  So, you can imagine our disappointment when we woke up this morning to a rainy, […]

The Past Few Days

April 15, 2011

I was doing so well with posting daily – and then everything went all to hell.   I woke up on Wednesday morning with the nasty crud that Danny had last week.  It was probably inevitable that I caught it – and, I am glad that I was able to do my walk before it hit […]

A Walk in the Park

April 13, 2011

When we first started planning this trip, one of my goals was to try and step out of my comfort zone and get out and see some things that I may never have the opportunity to see again.  After doing some research on the area around Cronulla, I discovered that there is a National Park […]

Getting Acclimated

April 11, 2011

This might be a first – I am updated my blog twice in one day.   I really want to try and keep a record of this trip as it happens and updating this is a good way to hold myself accountable. After settling in and getting a few things done for work this morning, I […]

Leaving Sydney (for now)

April 10, 2011

After spending all of our first day holed up in the hotel, we both woke up super early on Sunday morning.  This jet lag thing is no joke.  Thankfully, Danny seems to be on the other side of whatever the bug was that he caught and he felt well enough to venture outside the hotel. […]

(Not) Hitting the Ground Running

April 9, 2011

We landed in Sydney around 6:30AM local time.  It was a rough flight – after I finished writing that last post, I proceeded to watch 4 episodes of Mad Men and finish a book on my Kindle.  About two hours before landing, the lack of sleep hit me hard.  Poor Danny had it much worse […]

The Longest Flight

April 8, 2011

Note: I wrote this entry as we were about halfway through our flight yesterday. I had originally planned on titling this entry , “How survive a 20+ hour travel day.” However, as I sit here, flying somewhere over the Pacific Ocean – I amnot quite sure that “surviving” is really the correct adjective to describethis […]

Here Goes Nothing

April 7, 2011

In roughly 24 hours we will (hopefully) be landing in Sydney, Australia.  Right about now I am kind of wishing that I had never watched Lost.  I am also wishing that I was blessed with the ability to pack light.  Holy cow is my suitcase heavy.  And don’t even get me started on my carry-on.  […]
