Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all my Chinese friends - May the year of the "Rooster" be a happy, healthy time for all. I ended being up being "stuck" in Sydney last night - my meeting in the afternoon went WAY past my booked flight time to Melbourne of 4pm - Qantas seemed to get "slammed" - their 5pm flight to Melbourne was cancelled and it seemed that every flight after that to Melbourne was taking passengers from the 5pm flight. By the time I could get to re-booking, the only flights left were an International at 9:20 and the final direct at 10:20pm - so decided to stay in Sydney. Again, at the Avillion Hotel - corner of Liverpool and Pitt Street Sydney - very reasonable rates, great breakfast! I'm off to catch the 11am or 12am to melbourne so that's all folks for now!
