Arrived in Sydney!

Breakfast served on American Airlines Premium Economy around 6 AM Sydney time
The food was fresh and good.  Dinner last night was also good and plentiful. Rob had beef and I had the chicken.  He made the better choice!

This was the view from our window as we flew over Sydney this morning.  We arrived at 8 AM on Saturday morning which is 5 PM on Friday in Connecticut.  The plane ride was much better than I anticipated and Rob and I got some rest on and off so we did not arrive exhausted but excited about being in Australia.  We taxied to our hotel The Radisson Blu Plaza in downtown and they were kind enough to give us our room right away.  They gave us an upgrade because Rob is still a Platinum Member.

After we checked in to our hotel room, we decided to go for a walk and went to the Quay (pronounced Key).  This is the walkway along the harbour.  We walked to the Sydney Opera House and also saw the Harbour Bridge.  There are people walking along the very top of the bridge.  Apparently, you can climb it.  It is the opening day of the Invictus Games in Sydney.  Prince Harry and Meghan Markel are here for the opening ceremonies.  They were closing off some of the Royal Botanical Gardens at 2 PM so we walked there before they were closed off.  They are beautiful as you can see below.  It was wonderfully warm and sunny (76 degrees).
