Hello Everyone

Julie and Tim are in Sydney baby! We had a wonderful time in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lots of interesting people and yummy food to be had. We saw Sea Lions on Pier 39! Jaden would have loved it! They barked at each other and were either fighting or love making (video to follow). We went to four yoga classes in about five days. They love to chant in the yoga classes out there. Kevin and Devin were wonderful hosts, we really felt at home with them. Kevin will look after the car while we are away. He will use it for his friday night drag races on San Pablo Ave in Emeryville. We left the 'city' Sunday night and braced ourselves for a 14 hour plane ride...yikes! We were served dinner (Salmon)on the plane at about midnight, California time. Through a restless night sleep in an upright seated position we somehow awoke early Tuesday to find that we only had 3 hours to go, and that we had traveled forward in time skipping Monday the 9th of February 2009 _(Thanks for the Adavan Devin - Julie). The flight overall went by quickly. We found our contact at the aiport after a short search and were lead to a van taxi with some other travelers. We were driven to the YHA Central (Sydney's best Hostel in town). Since Tuesday we have been living out of our backpacks, searching for employment and a place to live. I think we have tentatively decided to move away from the cities and try to find work on a farm where we can save a decent amount of money for travel fun later. We will let you all know what is happening in the coming days. Our number is 0450432757. Dial the following:

011 61 2 (Sydney's 'City Code') 0450432757

That should work. You'll all have to figure out how you want to pay for that if you decide to call us, we hear calling cards are the way to go.

Julie and Tim
