Hello everyone,
We arrived in SYdney at 8:30 am (2 hour delay at LAX). Linda's luggage was left behind in LA so she won't get it until tomorrow morning. They also did not have record of her travel visa so needless too say it was disappointing for her to encounter these problems. Other than this, things have been going well. We took a bus tour of Sydney after leaving the airport and made stops at Bondi beach, The Gap and Darling Harbour -all spectacular sights. I am very disappointed because I wanted to upload some pics tonight but left my camera card at the hotel (we have found a McDonalds close by with free wifi. We are all very tired and have been up for about 40 hours now but are told not to retire for the night until the usual bedtime of what weare used to at home, so we are heading to the Sydney aquarium.
Tomorrow we are heading to the Opera House and for a boat tour of the harbor. I have met the others in our study group from ARizona. The prof (Dr.Stone) is very nice (we use her books at our school). Must go for now. P?S? UGGS are much cheaper here -Natalie is busy shopping!
