Sydney vacation

I've got my flight booked for Sydney.

On Christmas day, I'll be flying to Tokyo first, then going to Sydney overnight to arrive the next morning. That'll give me about 5 days to explore the city and get a feel for what life will be like when we move down there.

I'll also visit the universities to see what the campuses look like, and hopefully talk to some people about programs. Just as importantly, I'll see how expensive things are, how big the city is, and maybe even get a chance to do some swimming.

I will be returning to the northern hemisphere on New Year's Eve day. I'll stay in Tokyo New Year's Eve, and then get home the next day.

Awesome.
