A Dream of a Trip: Sydney, Australia

A Dream of a Trip: Sydney, Australia    Four nights in Sydney flew by in the blink of an eye, but my heart is full. I juggled work, shuffled plans around a friend's visit, and squeezed it in right after my son's high school graduation whirlwind.  Somehow, it all came together like magic. Almost every day was sunshine and sweet animals that made me calm and joyful. Cozy nights racing back to the hotel just to watch the harbor and opera house light up.   At night, opera house lit up like a glowing sculpture, and weekend fireworks burst nearby.  It sparkles like a celebration.  Pure magic I couldn't stop staring and smiling. It was kind of vacation I'd always dreamed of.  Truly I couldn't have asked for more.                                                                       ...

  Tap, Ride, Wander- Sydney by Tram, Ferry  & Foot Exploring Sydney was a breeze. Wandering through Sydney felt effortless; just one tap of your credit card you're off whether hopping on the tram through the city or gliding across the harbor on ferry, it is all simple magic. Sydney moved with me, no tickets, no fuss. Tap and Go, easy! Tram from Circular Quay rolled past Winyard, QVB and Chinatown, then walked our way toward Darling Harbour. Taped on with my credit card like a local pro but mostly we just walked.  The best way to see Sydney is one footstep at a time.  Every street had a little moment worth pausing for.                                                                                                    ...

Taronga Zoo Sydney

  A Sweet Day at Taronga Zoo Sydney Taronga Zoo felt like stepping into a gentle dream filled with soft fur, golden light, and playful souls.   The Koalas napped like little cloud-puffs in the trees, the kangaroos lazed int the sun without a care, and one curious meerkat tuned just in time to steal my heart.  A giraffe strolled by like something out of a fairytale; tall, graceful, and almost glowing in the afternoon sun.     The alpacas looked freshly fluffed for a storybook, and that pelican's beak shimmered like a watercolor sky.   Every moment at the Taronga Zoo a quiet kind of magic.
