… to visit all manner of unusual animals! Koalas, platypus, kangaroos, wallabies … for starters. At LAX waiting for our 17-hour flight to Sydney I am pondering how we leave California at 10:30 pm Sunday night and arrive 17 hours later on Tuesday morning, at 7:10 am. Hmmm… Also need to check out the time zone difference for our many family members lest we be receiving calls at some ungodly hour. After a few days in Sydney, we will be boarding the Holland America Oosterdam for a cruise to Melbourne; Hobart, Tasmania; and then several stops in beautiful New Zealand.
Our next stop: Marriott Circular Quay, where we will rendezvous with our friends, Bev and Alan from Sydney. World travelers, they will not have far to go to join this cruise! We’re already missing our friends, Lee and Troy Harden, aiders and abettors of the trip. Just a few days ago Lee broke her ankle badly and had to cancel the trip she must be off her ankle for at least 6 weeks. We will miss you, Hardens!
Hope the flight goes smoothly; I forgot my good luck flying pin, a winged heart made by Stefano in New Orleans. I’ve substituted a Mullanium pin with an airplane, a compass and a map, plus a winged heart! The compass and map could come in handy…. except on closer inspection, the map is of China, a bit off our course.
