Greetings from Sydney

Welcome to Sydney.

This boys and girls is why I do love travel. Ahhh the joys of work, travel, adventure, sipping a wonderful glass of wine while fighting the day's battles. The only thing more perfect if the misses were here.

Next Time... Definately Next Time

Australian Navy Ship

Yes folks, the HMS Endevor still proudly serves the Australian Navy. Nuclear powered she is not, but still dangerious regardless. I think even with my meager engineering skills, I can help improve the lot here.

The Hotel in Sydney

This is why you do NOT let the Bean Counters at work choose the hotel accomodations.
Upside: Nice view.
Downside: Drafty, A little damp, and the ride to and from is not a simple deal. Thank Goodness for Water Taxies.

Sydney Bridge Walk '08 Part 1

If you look carefully, I'm the third guy on the left. Go on.... Squint if you have to..

It was a terriffic if somewhat frightening climb.. but well worth the money.. (still 150 AUD is not a cheap ticket. Next time, I'll just get the postcard).

A note to the next person: Beer helps, and the more beer you have, the easier the climb is on the nerves. (for medicinal purposes ONLY)
