We Made It!

We flew out of Vancouver at 4:15 pm and arrived in Los Angeles 2 hours later, but our flight to Sydney was delayed by over an hour.  Despite the delay and being cramped into our economy seats for the 15 hour flight we both got some sleep and felt much better than we expected when we arrived.

We survived unscathed our 7 minute drive on the wrong side of the road to our airport hotel.  We didn't even make any wrong turns despite our best efforts.  I spent most of the day resting up (but not sleeping, I am holding off till 10 pm tonight in an effort to conquer the jetlag).  Leo went out several times to check out the exotic birds, 4 new life listers:  common mynah (introduced from Asia), crested pigeon, pied currawong, and the bird of the day,


He must have been more jetlagged than he thought because he took a bunch of overexposed pictures.

Later we went out for sushi and picked up tomorrow's breakfast at the neighbourhood Woolworth grocery store.

And tomorrow we brave the Australian highways for the 2 hour drive to Blue Mountains National Park.
