August 29th, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

As I drifted in and out of shallow sleep, all that I can hope for on a long haul overnight flight in the three square feet that one is granted in economy class, somewhere over the south Pacific we crossed the international date line and in a blink of an eye, August 28th came and went.
The Air Canada flight 33 I was on touched down at Sydney International Airport a couple minutes after sunrise. The perfect beginning to another beautiful spring day in the land of Oz.
