Hi Mates!
"Home Sweet Home"
So, Gerardo and I made it home safely from a long nine hour flight. We sure do ♥ vacations BUT we love coming home just as much.
As most of you know Gerardo was in Darwin, Australia three weeks prior to meeting me in Sydney. He got to visit the local zoo that allows you get up close and personal with the crocs, kangaroos, monkeys and felines. [alittle to close if you ask me] Sadly, three days before my departure I got sick and had to go to the hospital for an approval of travel. Ugh. It was awful. Both Japan and Australia are strict and would have denied me exit or entry if I was diagnosed with the H1N1 virus. Luckily, I just had a bad case of a sinus infection that was treated with medicine and a couple of days of rest. I flew out as scheduled with major head and chest congestion; horrible I tell you...absolutely horrible.
Sydney was beautiful and we got the best of weather that we prayed for. It was a pleasant change of the heat wave that Okinawa has it's title for. The entire trip was casted with 65 at it's high and 43 as it's low. Within the first two days both Gerardo and I have pinpointed a similarity to San Francisco. (another city we love) Overall, it was a fantastic trip. We did however, find that EVERYTHING was expensive. Case in point, example #1: a bottle soda was $3.50 AUD = $3
p.s. We're going to Hong Kong for my birthday. We just have to figure out with we're going to do with Jake, we weren't pleased with this last place.
Enjoy the pictures.
