Welcome to our blog, we just arrived in Sydney, so our posts may be limited until we get settled a bit. The flight over wasn't bad at all, through dumb luck we ended up with an upgrade to premium economy with a bulkhead on Qantas. The extra legroom plus an ambien made us forget all about the 13 month old next to us.
So far the biggest shock has been the weather. It's fall here, so it's strange to see long shadows and leaves falling all around. It's still warm though so it doesn't exactly feel like fall, mainly it's just confusing to us coming from Spring in SF.
We spent yesterday taking care of phones/internet and banking. Turns out we should have done a bit more on the banking side before we arrived. Looks like it could be a week or two before we're all setup. In the meantime we're hoping for the exchange rate to move in our favor, it's been moving way too quickly against us in the last week.
Today was apartment hunting day. We saw a few promising ones that were furnished, so hopefully we can get an application approved by early next week. Wish us luck.
