Day 15: Sydney, Australia
February 10, 2023 — Hello and good morning on another beautiful day in Sydney, Australia! I woke up with a plan to head to the wharf in Circular Quay and just get on whatever ferry struck my fancy to head to the beach. Turned out, the ferry that I wanted that morning was heading to…

Day 14: Sydney, Australia
February 9, 2023 — On my first full day in Sydney, I booked in for the I’m Free Walking Tour that runs daily at 10:30am. I booked it the day before and got the last slot available for the day! As the name implies, it’s free, but they still have you sign up for a…

Day 13: Sydney, Australia
February 8, 2023 — When I finally got myself and my bag (which wound up squished to the back of the luggage area) off the coach, I made my way to the bathroom first and to the hostel second. I settled my bags into a locker for safe storage while I waited for it to…

February 6, 2023 — My Great Ocean Road (GOR) trip was supposed to start bright and early at 6:15am when I got all my stuff out of my dorm, ate breakfast, and met the tour bus. Except I woke up at 6:45am (thanks Mom & Dad for the call) and rushed to make sure I…

NYC Day 3: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, & the Financial District
Today was action-packed! We were up and out the door to get bagels from the Brooklyn Bagel and Coffee Company, who reputedly have the best bagels in New York City. While I can’t exactly speak to that, I can say that they are enormous, and positively loaded with the cream cheese spread of your preference.…

NYC Day 2: Brooklyn, the Met, & the Empire State Building
Today started after quite the long night’s sleep. I’m used to the constant drone of a highway, but the city that never sleeps dishes up a whole cacophony of noises through the night, including but not limited to, slamming doors, horns honking, and people talking. Too bad this place doesn’t have thicker walls. But thanks…

NYC Day 1: Travel & Times Square
Day One started bright and early at 7:00am (yes, that’s early for me) as we woke up, gathered a few last-minute items for packing, and headed to the airport. My first time in an airport in two and a half years . . . I can’t tell you how much I missed it. The smell…
