Sunny Sydney

Let me start by saying that if you ever fly from Vancouver to Sydney, you owe it to yourself to go business class.

Met by private car (BMW) and card-bearing driver at Syney airport. About 20 minutes to the hotel. Sydney is crisp and clear.  Dry air like in Vancouver's on a sunny winter day.  It's going to warm up.

At hotel was greeted by a private check in and told that my room was being upgraded.  Check-in agent personally escorted me to my room. Got to my room and there was a bottle of champagne on ice that I will be enjoying tonight...

Check out the pics. My room has a great view of the Sydney Opera House, the harbour and the bridge. Yes I know the windows are dirty. Shangri-La is currently washing its windows.  Hope they do mine soon.

Yes it's tough being here.   Gotta suck it up and take one for the team.  Off to explore.  Will write more later.
