I arrived to the rain that was predicted. I think Aussies forecasts their weather far better than us Canuck's.
My first sighting of the infamous Sydney Opera House was cloud cover and pouring rain but hey, I am still in Australia. The flight was long but well tolerated owing to the two wonderful seat mates I had for the 2nd long 14 hour flight. Remind me never to fly United Airlines again. It is now 9:30 pm Monday evening....I think.....I don't know. I have lost track. Nonetheless, I can't believe I am finally here. We had a few cafe late, followed by some afternoon drinking outside on the porch of a local pub and then switched to champagne and a nice home cooked fish and veggie meal.
Karin: If you can, go and pick up some more smoked BC salmon at Loblaws. Tobi loves the stuff. If you bring any food, be sure to declare it all: I did and only lost the Manitoba wild rice and 1 fresh green apple. The Aussies are VERY protective of their environment and x-ray and search your bags for everything. Understandably for this island continent. You will be right at home - 2 dogs and 2 cats here!
It is wonderful to see Michelle and Tobi. I am looking forward to a nice relaxing week of prepping for the party on Saturday and meeting all the friends and family. We will spend 2 night in a hotel in Manly overlooking the Sydney harbour for the ceremony Saturday....a facial and massage followed by more drinking and relaxing are on the agenda this week . It all sounds good to me!
For tonight, I am looking forward to a nice good night sleep in a normal recumbent position! I hope the rain is gone by the weekend. There is flooding with torrential downpour - very unusual I am told!

Saw the boys. Jersey got a 10 minute chin scratch. He's very happy at present.
Hey Lisa. I'm just so happy and excited to hear from you and glad that you arrived safely. It's Monday evening about 10 p.m. and I've just returned from a massage. It's pouring rain here too. I have four more sleeps before I make my way downunder--Yipee!!!! I can't wait to see you and look forward to meeting Michelle, Tobi and the fur babies.
For sure I'll bring some smoked salmon and anything else you want.
