    Bondi is full of Tourists, so is Manly, but Many is longer so you can get away from them more

    head further upto the northen Beaches, much nicer

    you folks are awesome!
    thanks for all the excellent info,....and the pics! :shock:

    however....at this point, i am very undecided if i am going to make the trip at all. as much as i would LOVE to go to sydney (and yes, hug a koala! ) and to see pearl jam on my birthday....i am thinking perhaps, financially, not a good move for me right now. yes, i can fly free.....but as it seems any friends who do go, plan on doing other shows as well, i would more than likely have to cover all or most of my hotel costs, solo. coupled with the other expenses of food, drink, whatever entertainment, etc.....it is looking to be a lot more $$$ than i wanted to spend. also, feel a bit guiltly sucking up almost ALL our airmiles, that we've been saving....so i just don't know. my husband is entirely cool with whatever i decide, but i may err on the side of being responsible, for once.

    i was just SO excited at the thought and possibility, i really ran with it w/o thinking it through entirely. still not ruling it out 100%, but yea....unsure.

    do feel free to continue adding excellent ideas to the thread for others who are interested, to torment/tempt me further and what have you...:D

    as i said, i may still make it.....who knows?
    either way, someday i WILL make it over there whether this november or some time in the future...


    you people rock!

    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Sydney is awesome. You won't regret it. But unfortunately, the world is run by Money, and that puts a limit on things we would all love to do.

    Hope you make it one day.

    Just got my Sydney Tickets so I'll see you there!!! :D

    I suggest a harbour cruise if you want to sit back and relax with a couple of drinks while you get shown around the most beautiful harbour in the world. Try and get on a twilight cruise you won't regret it. A tour to the Blue Mountains would be pretty awesome to. Just tell cate to take you!!!! :D
    I can't go the library anymore, everyone STINKS!!
