Sydney Day 1

So we all landed safely in Sydney with luggage intact. Today has been a day of exploring and trying to adjust.
I had my first flat white, an aussie speciality coffee. This was given to me as a gift that i learned later i auctally paid for....it really is the thought that counts!!
Our hotel is yards away from Bondi beach, which lends an amazing view from the balcony.
Some of the guys went surfing today even though the water was frigid Andy, Jerome and i went record shopping around town.
Tonight we had an amazing Thai dinner compliments of our hosts here in Australia but now ive stayed up all day (as recommended) and can barley keep my eyes open.
more tomorrow....

747

36,000 feet and 492 miles an hour Is my current status.
Well I’ve made it to hour 13 on the mighty Boeing 747 (my current favorite aircraft) Qantas flt 108 LA to SYDNEY, the longest flight I have been on. Almost 3 hours left to arrival in AUS. I managed to sleep for the first 10 hours.
(36K) A window seat with 2 vacant ones beside me. One couldn’t ask for much more except of course being upstairs in first class, where I Imagine people lay down flat, have a amazing meal, and arrive rested unlike the rest of us.
This is the furthest distance I have been away from my family and the ones I love.
Technology will make things much easier but, distance is difficult no matter how you look at it.
But if I may quote Britt Daniel “ i say let the distance bring us together again”

The sun is coming up over the Coral sea, its morning here and I need to adjust... somehow i just lost a day.
