first post in Australia

Meegan and Jen are finally "doing" Australia......

Alright folks, we are here, we are alive, sleep deprived, and sweating like a maniac (It is currently 30 something degrees...it is suppose to get up to 39..).

So our first stop in Vancouver was basically idiot proof, people everywhere flagging us in the right direction, thank god!
Then on the Honalulu... we didn't actually leave the airport (boo),but we saw like two palm trees. We took a picture and eventually it will be on the site.
We were fed a million times, to the point where we turned meals down. Air Canada impressed us, except for the eggs.... *shudder*
Jen and I experienced hot towels for the first time... and still don't kow what to do with them.... (although we tried mulitple ways).
So the longest part of the trip was the 11 hours from Honalulu to Sydney... All I have to say is sleeping pills, what a great idea.
So we made it safely to Sydney, through customs, got our visa's... next step, find my friend Sarah.
Well the train system here is a little more complicated than in Toronto, but after many many conversations with some VERY friendly locals, we finally got it together. (One little girl approached us as we waited for our train to inquire, "Have you been around the world?", very cute!)
Well we are at Sarah's (hence the update), a really nice "flat" as they call appartments here. We even made it to the mall and purchased a fan (so us Canadian kids don't melt away in our sleep).
So the plan for the rest of our time here is some much needed R&R for the rest of today. Tomorrow we hit the beach.... Then we hope to be on our way south (maybe), by friday (which is thursday for you guys in Canada).
So there we have it, contrarey to all you nay sayers, we made it. Boo-yay

Luv
Pixie and Meegz
