A storm is heading into Northern California tonight, and the days skies were grey and the day chilly. We left Sebastopol to catch the bus shuttle at the local airport which took us to SFO. Now we wait to board around 10:00 PM for the 15+ hours flight. We will “lose” a day— and won’t experience January 16th at all because of crossing the international date line, then coming back, we get to have a super long Feb 6th. Lizzie’s birthday is January 17, so it’s good THAT wasn’t the day we lose. Though, actually, Lizzie said it would be quite alright to lose a birthday.
In Sydney, where we are bound and arriving tomorrow, the weather is rainy (amid the catastrophic fires) with lightning. However, the temperatures are summer down under, with tomorrow’s predicted High at 74 and the low at 67.
We plan to rendezvous with my cousin Nancy, who works for American Airlines, and who shall actually be in Sydney at the same time we are on the 17th. We shall hookup for our first dinner in Australia. Then, the next day, Nancy flies back home on the 18th, and we board the Holland America Lines ship Noordam to cruise to and around New Zealand.
