I try to go along with Rockford on one of his work trips every year. Last year it was Las Vegas; this year it was Chicago. Next year? Next year it might be a little farther away.
Yesterday Rockford found out that he might have to go to Australia next year. That’s a trip I would love to tag along on. He usually has a few international trips every year, and while I wouldn’t have minded going along to Brazil and I would’ve liked to go to China, those international flights are expensive. But I’ve always wanted to go to Australia, and it would be our first chance to see our friends Chris & Sinead in years.
So even though it isn’t even set in stone that he’s going — much less that I’ll be there — I’m going to go ahead and designate my piggy bank the Australia Fund. I spent a good bit of yesterday evening Google-dreaming my trip to Sydney; here are a few things I’d like to do there.
- Tour the Sydney Opera House. Or maybe it’s just Sydney Opera House. Whichever, I’d like to take their tour.
- See a performance at the opera house. There’s a contemporary ballet performance happening the week we’d be there.
- Take a tour via motorcycle
- Walk the Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach Pacific Trail.
- Stroll through the Royal Botanic Garden.
- Go on a whale-watching tour.
- Visit the Chinese Garden.
Have you ever been to Sydney? What not-to-be-missed sites are missing from my list?
