Our flight from Big Flat City to DFW was cancelled, as we learned ten minutes after boarding was supposed to have started. So there was a tense couple of hours as we waited on standby status for the next (and final) flight out. The DFW to LAX leg as well as the LAX to Sydney leg had to be rescheduled. And we had to wait to see if any of this would work while sitting in the Big Flat City airport.
OK, suspense is over. The very helpful airline employee brought us two tickets with the explanation: "They haven't shown up yet, so you get the tickets. I am going to hide now." When we got to LAX we called our son in California to ask him to call our son in Australia and let him know we would arrive at about 8:00 AM instead of 6:00 AM. It worked out for everyone.
Sorry I didn't get a photo out the window as we circled Sydney. The photo posted here is taken from the back deck of the house where we are staying. The name of this area is Palm Beach, if that gives you any clues. On Wednesday, we are invited to be in a sailboat race across this expanse of water. I will let you know.

It looks like a beautiful place. Will look forward to seeing and hearing more later...

Ain't it fun to have to sit around Big Flat Airport, twidling your thumbs? Ugh. Not a whole lot of good people-watching fodder to keep your entertained.
