It began with an invitation

At first it was only an email. Would we attend a wedding in Australia? Wow. It would be the trip of a life time.

Then we received the actual invitation in the mail.It took my breath away. It didn't take long for us to accept.

It is almost 10,000 miles from Cooperstown to Sydney. How long could we stay? Where would we go?  How should we decide what to see?  

Since mid-February we have been researching and reading about this island country. My husband has taken to calling it "the land of superlatives". And we shall soon see. Today we depart for Sydney. Over the next few weeks I will share some photos and experiences so that you can travel along with me.
