a LONG trip to Syndey

Well, we made it! Our flight departed a bit late from Logan... and this caused us to almost miss our flight from San Francisco to Sydney. Technically, we did miss it. Elisha and I had accepted the fact that we were spending the night in San Francisco, when suddenly a flight attendant from United Airlines informed us that our flight had yet to board (due to technical problems). We arrived at our gate about 90 minutes after it was scheduled to leave, yet we still made it! Somehow these things always seem to work out for me..

So after 3 hours in Logan Airport, 6 hours flying to San Francisco, 2 hours in that airport, another 14 hours flying to Sydney... we have arrived at our hostel and have just begun to explore the city. No pictures in this entry, as we have literally left our hostel 1 hour ago and come to the public library to use free internet.

Happy Holidays and we hope that everyone is doing well back home. We miss you, but not the snow!

  3. What up Harbor and Elishskis? Glad to hear you didn't miss your flight. It's noon xmas eve day here so I guess that means you two are sound asleep on Christmas and in only a few hours will wake up to I'm not sure what. Does Santa come to Australia? Do they do the whole tree thing? An Australian Christmas... wow, sounds great and interesting. I am about to go make bookmarks for my fam and i'm pretty pumped about it. Merry Christmas people and good luck. -Bri

  4. So glad you made it to Syndey safe and sound. As I type this we are at Nancy and Massimo's for the traditional Christmas Eve dinner, presents, and then to church to hear Diana sing "O Holy Night". Tomorrow am we are having mimosa's with our friends, John and Mary Fran McDermott and then to Mom's later. Lots of holiday celebrations. Thinking of you both everyday and hope you both are enjoying some warm temps and wonderful adventures. I love you both and wish you happiness. Please be safe.

    Love you,
    Mom
