Australia

After my day in Fiji, I flew to Sydney, Australia. I had always wanted to do this trip and finally bit the bullet and bought the ticket. I managed to avoid jet lag and just hit the ground running. I saw as much of the sites as I possibly could, given the time. I met up with my friend, Warwick, who I had originally met in Buenos Aires last year. He and his girlfriend showed me around Sydney, took me out to an amazing dinner and even took me 45 miles North to Palm Beach for excellent surfing. The conditions were a little crazy, but it was still worth getting out to the water with a board. After a week in Sydney, I flew to Melbourne, where I met up with a friend I met last year in LA. He lives in Melbourne and was super fun just grabbing a drink and catching up with him. I stayed on the beach in Melbourne and saw as much as I possible could while there, then I wrapped up the the trip by flying back to Sydney for three more days before going home. Back in Sydney, I knew of a coworker of mine who was there at the same time, so we managed to meet up and hit the bar scene on the night before she had to leave. My last night there, I met a great group of locals and shared drinks with them at the harbor. This is definitely a trip I will never forget and hope to do, again in the future.
