    Hi Lee,
    Thanks for your story and beautiful pictures of Sydney. What a long journey to get there. I have never been on a flight longer than 13 hours and probably never will. While working I checked out to fly Atlanta, Norita,Japan which was 16 or 17 hours non-stop. Then we stayed there 24 hours and worked the flight back home. A few of my friends did it before me and I swapped all my trips. I chickened out. Now that you are there guess you will be experiencing alot of new things in that part of the world. I’ll be reading your blogs and enjoy the journey with you. In Oct our 10 hour flight to Rome made me realize that I probably won’t be doing anymore long hauls. Blessings to you and your travels in the New Year. Still no snow here since Oct. Bill has had his tractor all chained up for 3 months now and no driveways to plow. Hugs, Carol

    Wow, 16-17 hours from Atlanta to Norita… that would be a long haul. 14 is the max I’ve done at a time, but I was very lucky to have a row to myself and could lie down (possibly why I didn’t feel so terrible after 30 hours in the air). I don’t blame you for being done with long flights- you’ve put in your time!
    I heard recently about the lack of snow in CO, so bummed to heat that… my fingers are crossed the weather changes soon.
    Thank you (as always) for following along! Hi to Bill for me.

    Wow! Prose and pictures match up perfectly. I get as good a feel for Sydney as possible from the other side of the world. Sounds wonderful!
