There are lots of colorful people wandering around and lots of wearin' of the green going on. ...

The practice proved to be a good start because we then drove into Sydney and checked into the Jolly Swagman Backpackers, www. ... au ,which is a non-stop party hostel in Kings Cross, Sydney. ... Our introduction to Sydney - the Jolly Swagman/Kings Cross - was soon followed with a more refined and enjoyable experience. ... My friends Sarah (from the UK) and Gemma (also from the UK but now living in Sydney) met us for dinner down at the Darling Harbour. ...

Mar 16, 2010 - Arrival in Sydney

Since our flight to Sydney left at 6:30 am, we reported to the airport at 4:30 am, expecting it to be deserted. ... I don't know what they were learning, but they certainly were giving the other passengers a very bad lesson on American behavior! Steve: Once we got to Sydney, I looked up this particular international program online, and it's a travesty. ... Steve: Hey, it was like being back in the classroom! ;-) Marianne: In Sydney's airport, there was chaos (do you detect a common theme in the airport portions of this blog?). ... After checking into the Sydney YHA, we walked to the Harbor, admiring all the fountains, ferries, eateries, Opera House, etc. ...

Feb 23, 2010 - We're outta here

We decided that we would spend a couple days in Wollongong just south of Sydney and then spend the last few days before we fly out on Thursday in the Sydney area. ... The girls and I ordered pizza, Sydney finally got her delivery, and we watched a couple of movies and went to bed. ... Sun Feb 21 Our final destination today was Wollongong where we were a couple of days ago but we detoured around through Sydney to go to the zoo. ... Sydney is not the easiest city to drive in but it was when we needed to turn right and realised that the line up for the right turn lane started way behind us. ... The zoo is on a point of land that juts out into Sydney Harbour. ...
