Hi all.

Well,we made it to Sydney without incident, mind you the 24 hours of travel was a bit much.  We are being billeted with some friends of Al andJacquie's (Jenskey); they have been great to us so far.  Yesterday their oldest daughter spent the day with us touring us around to many of the tourist sights.  We even stopped by Bondi beach to watch the surfers.
Today we took a boat tour of the Sydney harbour, what a beautiful place. After our tour we took a ferry to the beach so Dave and I could do some boogy boarding.

We get our first chance to get on the Olympic field tomorrow.  I'm sure it is going to be really exciting.  We don't start competing until later in the week.  We are quite excited to be here for all the celebration as the countdown to the Olympics reaches one year.  I'm sure we'll go out to celebrate 15/09 tomorrow.  We are suppose to be having dinner with the PM of Australia next week.  We also have a meeting with the COA delegates who arive next week.

I have to end here because we are paying by the minute.
