October 19-20, 2009 - Invercargill to Syndey and Rest

Well things are winding down. It is hard to believe we have been gone from home for over 4 weeks. But it really doesn't seem like it has been so long. The time has been flying by.

We had a lovely flight from Invercargill to Christchurch and then onto Sydney. Customs wasn't so bad and we really are becoming pros at handling the massive amounts of luggage.

We are staying at the Hilton Sydney in an executive suite. The rooms and service are excellent, though the suites aren't really meant for family accomodations.

We are right across from Queen Victoria Building and in the basement there is a food court. It is nice because the kids can get things from McDonald's and Daniel and I can have food like sushi and Indian...

Unfortunately, I had a headache all day yesterday and didn't do much except lay around and nap. Finally, I made myself go outside with Katrina. We went in search first of the swimming pool, but it is part of a health club and while we can use it, when we went down, all the lanes were filled with lap swimmers. So we walked to Darling Harbor and found a little playground, but it was really more for toddlers. The walk out did us good though, as my headache finally began to drift away.

We played some cards and turned in early.
