We've arrived at last
Hi Guys
The day that we thought would never come has finally happened.
We are on Oz soil.
We touched down in Sydney at around 7.20am tuesday 27th after a very long tiring journey.
We had to drive from Orlando to Miami 4 hours, catch a plane to San Fransisco 5 1/2 hours and then only just made the connecting flight to Sydney 15 hours. Luckily for us the flight was delayed otherwise we would still be in the US.
We am currently sitting in an Internet cafe next to the hotel waiting for our room to be OK to check in.
Not sure what we will do with the rest of the day as we are a bit tired but don't want to fall asleep too early and be wide awake in the middle of the night.
Have now got a week before we get to Adelaide so going to cram in as much as we can.
Will post some more later.

Go for a walk around the city, not for sightseeing, just to get bearings and stay awake.
Congratulations for getting here. Stay a little longer than a couple of weeks though, won't you
