After 28 hours from the time we left home, we arrived at our hotel in Sydney. Everything went quite well. No delays in the flights and the weather was fine the entire way. We have purchased a mobile wifi device for $39 that allows us to access the internet without using hotel or the cruise ship's wifi whenever we are within the mobile coverage of Telstra, which covers all Australia. We will have to recharge the account a couple of times but our total cost should not be more than $125 for the 3 months we are here, quite a bit less than the charges by hotels and the cruise ship. A quiet day today. We have a small suite and will stock up on supplies for the next five days and get to bed early.
