Australia

We arrived in Sydney, Australia, at about 6:20 AM on Friday, 19-SEP, after leaving LAX at 10:30 PM on Wednesday, 17-SEP. Yes, we totally lost Thursday - where did it go? Both Rosie and I were able to get some sleep on the plane. I believe Rosie slept at least 8 hrs of the 14 hr flight.

Our friend, Lorraine Fletcher, was at the Sydeny airport to me us. We met her at the intersection of two well known US establishments: McDonald's and Krispy Kreme. In the photo below, Rosie is munching on a Krispy Kreme doughnut while Lorraine is enjoying her McDonald's hamburger.

Here's a picture of Krispy Kreme taken from our seats at McDonald's.


Our goals for the day were: stay awake, do some sightseeing in Sydney and stay awake. We were successful in all - as long as we kept moving. We saw some great sites and stayed awake with no naps until about 9:30 PM. Being outside in the fresh air really helped. The weather in Sydney was fantastic and the spring flowers were really beautiful.
