Hello from Sydney!!

We  made it!! Man - what a huge double decker plane!!

San Francisco was NOT fun!!  They are undergoing construction and we got caught in the international security line from hell!!  In case anyone goes thru a body scanner and they "think" they see something in your pocket, touching your junk and patting your thighs is part of the pocket area - even if you pull your pocket out to show it's empty!!  Needless to say I was pretty pissed.  We made it to the plane just in time to board - rescuing a little Chinese lady along the way that was lost and trying to find the gate.  Stayed with her all the way to Australia and handed her off to her son.  She was really sweet - her brother had just died.

We have been up for along time - only slept for about 7 hours or so of the 23 hr 55 mn trip.

Finally found a McDonald's that had free wiifi - our rooms are not ready until 2:pm.   Oh - the McD's here is like home - dirty bathrooms!!  The kid gave me a big smile when he heard me talk - yea - like I'm the one that talks funny.

We have finally eaten and are headed over to the harbour - then back to check in and get settled.
