Well Cat is now on her way home 
getting to see her was so very very nice. We did get to go to 39 steps at the opera house it was Hitchcock so I was not thinking it would be that funny but it sure was. There were only 4 actors and about 100 characters and costume changes It was so very funny and well done. The next night our last began raining so our plans for a picnic were gone but we ended up going on a dinner crusie that was amazing and gorumet food. http://www.sydneyshowboats.com.au/showboats-experience/spectacular-showboat.aspx it was our birthday thing. Food and fun for sure. And we got back about 10pm so it was not bad. Cat was supposed to leave here at 7am but there was a typhooon in Hong kong were her layover is so she did not get out till later. I invite you to check out these 2 sites http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/whatson/AlfredHitchcocksThe39Steps.aspx to see more. love trish

I’m glad to got to spend some time with Cat. I’m sure that part went by way too quickly. At least with the internet, etc. you can still stay in touch. You’re lucky to have the memories of this trip to share. The 39 Steps sounds very interesting. What did you think of the Sydney Opera House? I know people who have seen the outside but you are the first person I know who has actually been inside. And the dinner cruise looks fabulous. I am a big fan of cruising. I can’t wait to see your pictures and hear your stories. I now understand why Dave and Norine are so fond of traveling. What have you got planned for the rest of your time? I hope you have a terrific time but I know Dad and the dogs (not to mention those fish!) are counting the days until you come home again. By the way, how is your sunburn? Talk to you later.
