Huh?...

In 1968 June Carter and Johnny Cash released the song called "Jackson". The song is all about how they plan to go to Jackson (no duh Sherlock!), well that is just what dad and I are doing- we're going to Jackson (Hole) although not for the same reasons as June and John (that would be really sick...)!
I have heard from a third party that June and John were singing about a different Jackson but I have decided to overlook that, so ok, we're not "just like" June and John but, damn, it's a cool sounding blog title if I don't say so myself.

In our very exciting trip we will be leaving Sydney on the 29th of December for a city I love- San Francisco (San Fran to those in the know ;P). We'll spend 3 nights there and then drive to Yosemite, an apparently "amazing" (quote- parents) national park. There for 3 nights also, then back to San Fran for a night before we head to... you guessed it- Jackson Hole Ski Resort, Wyoming in the US of A. 2 weeks of OMG skiing and scenery before we return home.

Can't wait! Hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I'm going to LOVE experiencing it...

Welcome to Sydney Airport, Entertainment Options: Next to None

We arrived at the airport at midday, a mere 3 and a half hours before the flight. I think we both showed great restraint and yes, I used we. Even I, who usually laughs at dad's obsession with being early, was itching to get to the airport- my excitement just could not be contained.
Not much to report beyond that. We had lunch at the bistro just outside customs etc which was quite good (yeah, this is the kind of thrilling suspenseful stuff you've been waiting for on the edge of your seat, isn't it?) and are now in the Qantas club waiting. I have no clue how we passed the time seeing as Sydney airport seems to have got more boring since last time but we have a mere half an hour to go til boarding now and yet we are both strangely calm. Of course, I'm only like that because I'm trying to keep my stomach in check after some recent upset with it (fingers crossed for me people although my hopes and expections are high that I'll be fine).
It's thrilling to think that we'll be in San Fran at aproximately 5:30am Sydney time tomorrow!!!! Hopefully next post will be filled with more interesting things for you to read about than where dad and I ate lunch. I'm almost certain it will be, Fisherman's Wharf has to give me some material, right?
