back in Sydney

We arrived back in Sydney around 10:30 last night and after a short shuttle ride made it to our hotel, the IBIS Budget, selected blindly from the web.  This is the absolute worst hotel experience of our travels and lives.  It was quite a surprise when we opened our room to find three beds, no desk, one plastic lawn chair, and two hangers on an open pipe frame, no closet.  There is no lid on the toilet, only a seat, two towels with no wash cloth.  Since there is no desk I'm sitting on one of the twin beds to type this.  The three beds are one double and two twins.  There is supposedly a breakfast area, at additional cost of $9, which I just now checked out to be only juice, coffee, dry cereal, toast, and an open bowl of fruit cocktail.

We will get by until our shuttle to the airport and hope that they ask us to complete a customer satisfaction survey. :-)

This afternoon we enter our time machine to travel back in time and back to the good ol' US of A.  We are scheduled to depart Sydney at 2:05 pm March 13 and arrive in Dallas 30 minutes earlier at 1:35 pm March 13.  If only it would be that easy.

I am posting this from the hotel wifi connection which is minimal so will wait until we get home to post pictures from our Perth tour.  We have truly enjoyed this adventure and hope you have also,  Check back for Perth perhaps tomorrow, I did get some nice pics.
