Arrive in Sydney

Arrive in Melbourne airport for my flight to Sydney about 1 hour early and I get offered a seat on an earlier flight which is sounds good. I say goodbye to AnnMarie and the kids and off I go. 10 minutes later, I’m having serious reservations about this decision when 4 islamic blokes sit next to me at the departure gate. Nuts, that’d be just my luck. Airport security seem to be in control though (this reminds me of a recent Letterman joke - if your getting onto a flight these days and your first name is Kareem and your last name isn’t Abdul-Jabbar you can expect a bit of hassle off the security!)

Anyway, I make it to Sydney and take a train into town and then another one out to Roisin’s place which is in Milson’s Point, the Northern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Bloody hell, there is some view with the opera house just across the water under the bridge. We go out to a Swing dancing theme night in a club in town where we meet John Hudson, another ex-iona person. There are young men wearing 1920s suits throwing young women around the dance floor (and up in the air) at incredible speeds. I can’t figure out for the life of me how these people get into this type of dancing in the first place though - they are so serious they don’t even look like they are enjoying themselves! After several near misses I decide my drink would be safer if I sat a bit futher away from the dance floor! The music is good though!
