Last night we ate at an Indonesian restaurant for the second time in a week. That's an interesting dining statistic for us, since we've eaten very little Indonesian food in our lives. Nonetheless, not long after Monday's lunch in Vancouver, here we were at Delima Restaurant, at one side of Sydney's Chinatown near Darling Harbour and a about a ten-minute walk from the Hilton.
One of the local Flyertalkers organized the place and the time for those of us arriving early in SYD. There were eight of us in total and we enjoyed ourselves talking about flying and travel in general.
The food was okay, the restaurant itself was noisy, but the company was very pleasant.
Today we'll enjoy another breakfast in glass, and then switch hotels for our two remaining nights in Sydney.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
