We are in Sydney preparing to fly to Brisbane this afternoon. We had planned to go down town last night to see the fireworks, but when we started hearing and seeing the reports of how many people (million plus) would be in a relatively small space we decided to stay put. We had a nice evening enjoying the wonderful 80ish degree weather; we got some food and ate it beside the pool. I fell asleep a long time before midnight; I had been up since around 4 a.m.
It’s a little after 7 this morning, January 1, which is about 3 p.m. on New Year’s Eve for you. I think I have pretty well adjusted to the time change. From what I’ve read it is easier to adjust going to this way than the other; we’ll see.
I hope to check in with you later from Brisbane.
