Room with a view
Fifteen hours, non-stop from Los Angeles—that’s a long flight. Not our longest, but close to it. Sydney is different, though. Usually the further you get from home, things change. The longer the flight, the more exotic the destination. Not Sydney. The most remarkable thing about the fifteen-hour flight to Sydney is that, on arriving, you feel like you never left home. Not that it is like any one place, it just doesn’t feel “foreign”. It’s not the language—English is the official language elsewhere, but when in London or Singapore there is no question that you have left the United States far behind.
Arrived in Sydney this morning, checked into the Quay West Suites. Easy to settle into vacation mode when you have this iconic view from your room!
