I was in Sydney, Autralia in October of this year ... sorry ... last year 2025. Happy New Year! I saw more Australians in one week in Sydney than I saw in my entire lifetime!

There were lots of firsts for me:
First time crossing the equator on a cruise ship
First time in the southern hemisphere.
First time crossing the international date line.
First time being in Australia.
First time feeding and touching a kangaroo.

I could go on and on. I loved every minute of being in Australia. I live in the middle of the United States. I have crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Europe many times but never crossed the Pacific Ocean to Australia. I have to say Australia is currently #1 on my list of favorite places and I hope to return to Australia some day.
