Back from the Big Adventure.
We're Baaaaaaaack..... Now did you guess??? Hmmm???? Sydney, Australia.................. December 14....................... AHHHHHHHH....someone has twigged........ Ok - We went to the taping of Oprah Winfrey's show at the Opera House in Sydney.... See...no REAL biggie...... But think about it. My friend from work, Carol, put our names in the lottery. There were 350,000 (yep) entrants in the ballot for 6000 seats and SHE WON tickets!!!!!!!!! So yeah it became a biggie. Something that will not happen again and we were there for it! Anyway - up at 4am on Monday 13th, flew to Sydney. Went and picked up our tickets (hooray they DID exist!! wouldn't that be a bummer to get there and find out the email was a hoax????) and sauntered off over to our accommodation. Now if you are ever in Sydney and want good, clean but cheap accom - this is the place! The Mercantile Hotel in George Street. Basic stuff. Beds, kettle, tv in rooms, nothing flash- but cozy, tidy and clean.......
