Greetings from Down Under!
What an experience I’ve had so far! My first week was jammed with 4 glorious days at the Australian Open along side my sister! Weather was a bit whacky and not at all typical for the Aussie Open. We had much cooler temperatures, a bit of rain, an afternoon of hot, hot humid weather – and one night I believe there was a sand storm! Early rounds are the best! You get to see a ton of matches and don’t need to have a stadium seat - the grounds passes are great! We did update the grounds pass one day, knowing that rain was coming - and was able to get a great seat in the Melbourne arena to watch the Kyrgios/Simon match. Got to see Roger and Serena on Rod Laver arena as well for their 2
nd
round matches Doesn’t get any better than that! All in all we got to see a ton of matches with top quality players.
My second week has brought me to the sunshine coast where I am visiting with my daughter who came down here for a year on a work/travel visa. Unbelievable views, beaches, hikes and wildlife. The people are great here, lots of cheery people and very welcoming ! Always thought this would be a once in a life time trip – but having been here I can’t wait to plan a 2
nd
visit!
