We found a great deal on Travel Zoo before we left home and booked a dinner cruise on the Sydney Harbour Showboat this evening.
When you can find a 60% discount off the Australian rack rate it becomes a good deal. The meal was surprisingly good and the entertainment was great fun. Monday is a quiet night and we were escorted right up to the front seats next to the stage, giving Kathy the opportunity to can-can with the dancers and a few other lucky audience members.
Those who know Kathy will know much she truly enjoyed that experience.
For whatever reason, a convoy of seagulls seemed to be escorting us wherever we went.
And now it's bedtime. Tomorrow we face a five-hour flight on Qantas, an airline on which we enjoy no status whatsoever. Every so often it's good to be reminded of how the little people live
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.
