    Sydney is in a class of its own as far as cities go. This is truly a modern city at it’s best. Everyone is welcome and flock here from all over the world to vacation in this wonderful city. Sydney is ranked very high in the Pacific for its quality of life. There are plenty of jobs here and the education is world class. Health care is available to all in this cosmopolitan city.  Sydney has a great blend of superior businesses and educational facilities with luxurious leisure and play.

    Australia’s largest and oldest city is famous for its Sydney Opera House. The main photo used on the millions of post cards mailed from the area. The City is placed on an absolutely breath taking harbor that is coupled with easy to get to white sandy beaches. The harbor separates the city in to two, north and south. Each side has a bustling village with beach side homes and inner city shopping and eating. Each village being distinctly different from the other.

    The Sydney area has a moderate climate which appeals to the beach goers and the great outdoors men. Around the city there are five major national parks leaving almost 5000 miles of open space to play and roam. Travelers can feel comfortable knowing that this city is a secure place for families, with all the facilities and transportation needed to enjoy this modern metropolis. They often start their journey from one of the five star hotels in Sydney.

    People can find any style of restaurant to dine in this multicultural city. Each dish is enhanced by the local fresh fish, produce and of course world class wines. Visitor and locals have the opportunity to get out in the night and see so many performing art shows. From the Opera and the Symphony to the Dance company and the Theatre company there is a impressive show going on every night. The talent is the best in the world as this city draws the most distinctive performers, directors, and writer to its sought after scene.

  • A Nice View of Sydney

    Thursday, September 10th, 2009

    We are finally here, in Sydney, Australia. The almost 15 hour flight from Dubai to Sydney was way too long. At least they had some good entertainment, like movies and games. The three meals on the plane were sealed in plastic containers, yuck. When we got to Sydney, we couldn’t get off the plane because one of the passengers had an emergency and an ambulance crew had to get on board to help them. We took a taxi the one of the best hotels Sydney Australia has, which is really great, because after we unpacked, we headed straight for the swimming pool and jacuzzi where we had a marvelous view of Sydney harbour bridge.

    The next day we crashed the whole day. Then the day after that we had a guided tour of the famous opera house. Unfortunately, the two main stages were busy, I guess rehearsal or something, so we didn’t get a chance to see them. Bummer really. I mean, what’s the point of the tour if you don’t get to actually see the main stages? We did tour the two smaller stages and other parts inside and outside which was good. We got to wear headphones and a receiver, so the guide person has a microphone and this radio transmitter. We could hear everything that was being said and we also got our photo taken and made into a postcard. I was really impressed with the opera house and really liked that fact that when they started building it they didn’t have a clue as to how to make the shell structures, but after several millions of dollars and a few extra years, they figured it out.

    We ate at a restaurant next to the opera house, and went back to our hotel for some more rest and relaxation out on the swimming pool. It really was a great view of Sydney.
