Arrival in Sydney

Well, Kerry and I have survived a very, very long flight to Sydney. I stopped over in San Francisco, and had dinner there, and saw a bunch of the old hotels before meeting up with Kerry for our flight to Sydney. It's beautiful here. We arrived at 6 in the morning and it was still dark (a telltale sign that it's winter), but the weather is in the 60's! There are even palm trees here, so it can't possibly get that cold! I'm not sure I'll have enough warm clothes, but I should be okay. We're staying with Kerry's friend, Amy, who is being very kind and opening her home to us. We're going into Sydney later...I want to see the Opera House, and perhaps get tickets to an opera there! Amy has also told me that we can get tickets to either a rugby or soccer match! I definitely hope that happens.
I'm here for a week, until next Thursday, and then it's off to Alice Springs for a tour of Ayers Rock, and then it's up to Cairns for three days for a tour of the Great Barrier Reef! If anyone has any suggestions for places to visit in Sydney, let me know! Pass on the blog to anyone you think would be interested!
