And now back by popular demand- highlights

As I put on my Facebook page, Australia loves me, it really does love me.  I went to bed last night with a reassuring email from Air Canada that my flight was on time.  I got up at 5:30am Monday morning (that is 2:30pm Sunday afternoon) time in Sydney.  I finished packing, showered, and caught the 7:15 train out of Wyong.  I got to Sydney airport at 9:30 only to find out that my flight was delayed by 6 hours due to either a safety check on the 777 due to the crash last week or the cyclone up in Queensland.  I am an easy calm flyer so that doesn't bother me.  However, I was told that I have a confirmed seat up to Vancouver and I will need to get a seat to Toronto once I clear customs there.  So I won't get back to Toronto until either late tonight (mid afternoon Tuesday Sydney time) or maybe even tomorrow (Tuesday evening or early morning Wednesday Sydney time).  Can you spell jet lag?

But not one to complain after such a wonderful holiday, I will use this opportunity to post some more pics of my trip.
