The Plane Ride and Day One



Brendan didn't believe me when I told him how bad the flight would be... but I sure showed him! Anyway, we did survive through a lot of walking/stretching and a powerful Xanax/Benedryl one-two punch. We even slept about 5 hours in a row! We also met a lovely girl from Canberra who sat next to us, so chatting seemed to take our minds off the long hours.
When we got to Sydney, what seemed like 4 days later, it was only about 9-ish in the morning. We forced ourselves to stay up... and were able to take quite a walk around the Rocks (area where we stayed near the Harbor) and the Opera House. We went back to our hotel (a pub, really) and drank and drank and drank. (See drunk timer photo.) We took another walk and mercifully allowed ourselves to go to sleep at the late hour of 7:45pm. Slept for 11 hours that night and were great after that!
