We left March 1, the day after a 15” snowstorm. Somebody stole all of our snow while we were gone. Still investigating that. We drove to Green Bay and flew to LA, where we stayed overnight and got to see daughter Mindy and her husband Don before flying to Sydney the next day. Flying is the greatest deterrent to ever doing it again. 13 1/2 hrs for that part alone and then 3 1/2 to Perth. We did not get a March 3. Talk about confusing. No major problems, though, except that the handle got broken on one of our pieces of luggage. However, it was 104 degrees in Perth! Hot, hot, hot! The one day we were there, it was a holiday, so most shops and restaurants were closed. Very expensive eating breakfast at the hotel, which we actually did at the hotel across the street from ours as they had a better buffet. We stayed at the Perth Ambassador, which was okay but had nothing to really recommend it. Hotel.com said that there was free wi-fi in the rooms, but there was not wi-fi at all. The kiosk charge was $2 for 15 minutes on the internet and the one that they had was out of service anyway. We did manage to get some pictures, however. The pictures are from King's Park in Perth. We booked this through Hope at Shoretours.com.au. The hot weather was not her fault!

Somehow it got posted 3 times. Can you have two deleted?

I have to be to Sydney and it is a nice place to visit

We had really nice weather when we were there. People were very friendly, for the most part. Taxis made it a snap to get around in.
