Our hotel room wasn't ready when we checked in at noon so we took a walk over to the Opera House and Royal Botanical Gardens. Stopped and had a nice lunch/dinner at a sidewalk café. Just got back to the room. We have a high floor corner room with views of the harbor, the Harbor Bridge, the Opera House and the cruise ships. Someone was smiling down upon us when rooms were assigned.. 
I'm going to clean up and read for maybe five minutes before I fall asleep.
Tomorrow we're meeting with one of Mrs. K's cousins that lives here and probably let them give us the grand tour.
Hope you're all doing well. |
Wow! Wasn't expecting to wake up to this pleasant surprise! The de-icing brought to mind a flashback of a bad de-icing job or maybe one not done at all and the terrifying flight that I experienced as a result many years ago back in the early '80s. That is NOTHING to mess with - glad you made it safely. Better to have a delay than to rush that process. As far as the flight not being bad and getting some pretty good sleep, I'd like to hear that from Mrs K before I would consider it. I know how you can fall asleep at the drop of a hat - lol.
How cool that you have family there to show you around. The best way to tour unfamiliar places in my book. Have a great time!
