Boarding Qantas flight to Sydney in half an hour after a great day in Los Angeles. Wendy's high school friend Tom kindly took us to the Getty Villa in the Santa Monica hills looking west over the Pacific, on a quick drive through Beverly Hills and window shopping on Rodeo Drive. Getting mentally prepared for our 15 hour flight across the International Date Line, skipping Friday and arriving in Sydney, Australia, at 9:30 Saturday morning! On this flight we'll be traveling about 12,500 kilometers; can you figure out the miles?
Join us as we head down under to Australia and New Zealand, a part of the world completely new to us but inhabited for a long, long time. Our blog address is ozandkiwi2013 because Australia is sometimes called "Oz" and the New Zealand people are affectionately called "Kiwis" for the bird very common in that country. Both countries have very rich histories and cultures; we want to share as much adventure as we can with our young grandchildren and other friends and family!
