I finally decided whether I would go on this " 'round Australasia" jaunt and now here I am in Sydney. I arrived here yesterday after having spent a 2-day layover in Honolulu. My sister took me to the beach near where she used to work at a luau and where the show "North Shore" is shot. The beach was really pretty and empty and the water was calm - the beach is not on North Shore.
Now I'm living it up in Sydney with my dad and staying on the 28th floor of a really nice hotel with a view of the Sydney opera house.

I arrived in Sydney Wednesday night and was so tired I just went straight to sleep when I got to the hotel. Yesterday I was able to tag along with my dad's business group for a harbor tour and a private tour of the opera house. They were both really interesting. Unfortunately I won't be able to see any performances at the opera house, but at least I got to see the inside. Last night I had big plans to go find a good restaurant and wander around a cool area of Sydney, but my "quick" nap before dinner ended up lasting 2 hours, so I just went back to sleep for the rest of the night when I realized it was almost 10 o'clock when I woke up from my "nap". Today I'm going to explore an older part of Sydney called the Rocks and then maybe another neighborhood. I'm passing up on Bondi Beach since I can't go to the beach by myself and swim - no one to watch my stuff while I'm in the water. However, I did get a nice view of the nude beach during yesterday's harbour tour.
I'll send updates from the road if I can. My dad and I are leaving Sydney Saturday morning for a road trip down the east coast to Melbourne on a road similar to Pacific Coast Highway. My plans are not quite determined after arriving in Melbourne, although at some point I'll be stopping in Hong Kong and Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka).
Hope you're all well and if anyone is in the area, let me know!
