Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna to get married...

i'm sorry i haven't been able to update my blog this last week!! in sydney, james had his computer, but it cost $25 at the four seasons per day for internet access. booooooo!! okay, here's what i remember from the last few days i was there.

thursday, we drove from canberra to sydney. on the way, we stopped at hungry jack's (burger king) cause i wanted to see if a whopper tastes the same down there. surprise surprise, they do!! anyway, we checked into the four seasons (gasp!) and we were happy to see we had an upgraded room and executive club access. whatever that means. we got a really awesome special breakfast buffett for the mornings we were there along with any snacks and other crap we needed throughout the day. but the room was beautiful since we had a view of the harbor/harbour and the opera house!! honestly, it was the most amazing view at night, and i'll never forget it. james got a great shot or two at night. i'll have to linkie his blog once all the pics have been uploaded. :)

once we checked out our room complete with big tub, telephone in the bathroom, safe in the closet, and other silly things, we went for a walk!! it was just about 10 minutes to the opera house!! we walked all the way around and then sat down for a bit to take it all in. i've always wanted to visit sydney, specifically the opera house, and that time i had to just sit and enjoy was perfect!!

after that, i did some shopping at the rocks and then we ate dinner at the oriental hotel after a beer or two. it was nice that it's winter there, which means less tourists. for a while, we were the only people in the restaurant!! i had really delicious fish and chips, and the fish was incredibly fresh and tasty. yum yum yum!!

friday we visited google via the train system there. thank goodness james had ridden before and was in charge. it's always great to use a new system with someone who knows what they're doing!! anyway, the sydney office was fun to visit, although very empty. it was their ski trip (omg, it's still winter there!) and i believe i saw like 3 people working. i loved seeing the view of darling harbor/harbour from the office, and i'm so jealous!! that afternoon, james drove to pennant hills to see koalas at the koala park. he had previously called to see if we could cuddle one (the only thing i wanted to do on the trip that wasn't already planned!!) and they told him "yes, we have several koalas" not really answering the question. we ended up seeing lots of australian animals, and a koala!! but i wasn't able to hug him (i think his name was lenny), but i was able to rub his back. he was super soft and warm, and loving his gum tree leaves.

saturday we did some shopping at queen victoria center/centre(?) and then we were off to the bridge climb!! james looked nervous at lunch, and he said he was getting a little afraid of heights. i was a bit surprised because i thought he had previously told me that he was definately not afraid!! even as we were getting ready, he was sweating!!

all right, i've got to get going, but i will continue this update later on!! :)
