Day 1: Sydney

G'day! 

I'm totally in Sydney right now!! (: It's soo pretty here!! 

Well let me tell you about the flight.. I was already a little nervous or scared you can say because of how long the flight was and the fact that we are over water the hole time. Our flight was supposed to leave at 10:37pm. But when we all boarded the pilot said that we were having technical difficulties with one of the motor thingers. so we needed to go back to the gate to have it checked out by a mechanic. 2 HOURS LATER.. we took off. Now that means that we didn't actually leave LAX until a little after midnight! Ya it freaked me out too. On top of that it was overcast and cloudy so there was a bunch of turbulance on the way up!! That really tested me and my trust in God. I had to keep telling myself "God is in control, God is in control". As many times as I kept repeating that to myself.. it worked! I started not being as scared and actually enjoing the flight! Haha honestly I slept through most of it (: it was great! We arived at 7:20 in Sydney this morning. Felt like it was 3 in the after noon.. but ya. haha. We checked into our hotel (that we will be staying at for a total of 1 day) and set off for an adventure. (: Luckily my dads gots big points with Marriot so we got to say at the Marriot right on the harbor! (well they say that but all I could see was the slightly larger building in front of ours..) it was walking distance to everything though so that was pretty cool.

 We walked up and down Sydney harbor, ate lunch at this cute little cafe place on the water, went on a cruise thing around the harbor (so much fun) walked some more, ate again, and came back to the good ole' Marriot (: I got GREAT pictures of the opera house and the harbor bridge. If you have one I would definitely put "see sydney opera house" on the things to do before I die list!! It is truley amazingg!! Can't wait to see how everything else unfolds on this trip guys! It's soo awesome here! The team from New York fly in tomorrow.. pray for there safety.. 

Well I will check back later.. tomorrow we are flying to Brisbane, Australia too meet up with some of the Graces friends to stay the night.. 

Catch ya later..
