23 Feb: Perth (WA) --> Sydney (NSW).

Another EARLY start this morning - this time at 4:15am for a 6am flight out of Perth. Fortunately our return to the airport was uneventful and our flight landed on time, so that was nice. +Marc and I had some errands to take care of in Sydney and shops in Australia aren't open like they are in the States (READ: late and on Sundays).

One of the main things we needed to take care of was Marc getting a new pair of sports sandals. His Keens mysteriously split, and since we only each have a couple of pairs of shoes to travel around with, this was a high priority. Fortunately our friend, +Jamie, who lives and works in Sydney, gave us a location to check out some shops where we could find sandals. He was spot on, and probably saved us a couple of precious hours searching which we really appreciated. So new sandals procured!

We had some other things to take care of, including assessing the packages that we sent back to Sydney with souvenirs and unneeded clothes. The good news is that everything fits in the "Monster Suitcase" that we used to bring gifts over to our friends here in Australia. The bad news is that the huge bag is full and we still have about 5.5 weeks left!! Something tells me we will be buying another suitcase.

It was a windy and rainy day in Sydney, so instead of walking to dinner as we typically do when we are in a major city, we got on the train. We had some tasty food at Movida, a Spanish place in Surry Hills, and then called it a night.

Thanks so much for tuning in!
