Monday, March 3, 2025 - Arrived in Sydney! We set our alarms at 6am today but we were both awake before that. We went down to the BLU (which opened at 6:30 today) and had our usual breakfast.

We were led to the 3rd floor of the terminal where we got our taxi who took us to our

Almost three years since then and we have not been to anywhere except short driving trips around MA and to see daughter and grandson in Philly. So many things have happened/changed in our personal life in these few years. We lost our beloved old dog Djuna; we sold our house and are waiting to moved into our new townhouse in a 55+ community; our other beloved dog Iubi had splenectom
