Happy New Year, Mates

Not only did we celebrate New years Last night Sydney time, we also toasted to the hometown NYE today at 4:00pm on the harbor. Simon, Lucy's brother who lives here in Sydney was gracious enough to invite us to a house party last night to celebrate NYE with the locals. We watched the fireworks from the area overlooking the harbor at 9:00 (kids show) and midnight (for those that can stay up). We toasted with champagne- there isn't really an open container law so we were able to bring our drinks from the party up to the harborside to ring in the new year. There was no ball dropping, which we definitely missed and it was very reminiscent of 4th of Julyfor us because of the weather. However it was a lot of fun and we really want to thank Simon and all the Aussies who were really great to have us over. Happy New Year!!!

Hoops, great shot of you and your friends, I know you trip will only get better.
I must admit, you will be missing out on a whole case of Cliquot Champagne at the veterans clinic. I think I might be able to save you a bottle.
