... what I am expecting to be oh-so-smooth Thai country roads. In addition, you also won't have to create an obsession with water that comes in a pre-packaged bottle and sold to you at a higher than expected price, where after purchase you meticulously check the seal on the bottle before even contemplating taking a sip.

... So consider yourself warned.
And I have been to Manly in north Sydney, Manly is all about beach and surfing. But it is not warm enough yet to dig out my bikini from the backpack.

I haven't been sitting still a lot. I have been on a cartrip to Blue Mountains, a very american way of seeing mountains I would say. They drive you from one viewpoint to another and everyone is taking the same boring and not so good pictures. Well, got a few good shots though. And the ...

... terminal. It was cheaper than the train ($5 each) or the bus ($5.50 each) – about $17 with all fees.

Then United check-in was no open yet when we arrived, so we sat in Starbuck’s and chatted while we waited. Three hours before flight time4, we checked our bags, then said good-bye to the kids, who were departing through a different section of the terminal.

... two from them! It was also funny to know that they were dancing on the tables in cheeky monkeys when we were there. and they won a free bar tab for that too!

The next day was more sightseeing. I took a trip to Manly on the ferry. This was a pretty cool little place, with quite a nice beach. the ferry trip was decent too, getting another good view of opera house and harbour bridge (getting a bit boring now)!

The next day was more ...

Last week, we mentioned that there are often tour guides in special-themed venues. These tour guides are specialized in their specific guiding area. Such tour guides may include museum guides, historical residence guide, and theme-park guide etc. The difference is that they only guide in a certain place for limited time.

... hotel and without much sleep, I got grumpy right back.. The staff at the hotel were fabulous. i was able to check in at 8am and had a blissful 4 hour nap before heading by train to Circular Quay. Cant believe it cost me $20 for a round trip (about 5 stops) but I think it was bumped up because of the airport. I walked around The Rocks and the base of Sydney ...

... to really hiting the job trail when I get back- it really isn't very fun to think about. In fact, I don't really ever want to work again after all of the traveling I've gotten to do over the last two years, but I suppose everyone feels that way. Anyways, this is me signing off on this blog- I hope you've enjoyed reading it, and sorry I haven't posted more pictures (as many of you have complained to me).

... of old-world character and charm plus a price that we could live with! And lest I forget to mention a free buffet breakfast every morning which was all we needed to sell Dave on the place ;)

Our darling Swede was busting at the seams trying to contain her eagerness to roam the streets of Sydney and absorb some big city culture; so after a quick shower we headed straight back out the door. We trundled down to ...

We slept in a little and then made our way to Quebec City. We wandered the Plains of Abraham then visited the Citadel. There were white tents set up there with men in tuxedos giving out free juice and cookies, and we wondered if we were supposed to be there. We asked a guide who told us that the Governor-General has a home there and it was an open house because she was visiting. We toured the house and caught a glimpse of the G-G. Then we walked ...
