tinkybelle,

Myself and my girlfriend will be travelling from probably rainy Juneau Alaska to hopefully sunnier and warmer Sydney to view the first week of the Olympics. We bought into a air/hotel/ground trans/event tickets package so not sure how much free time we will have there.

I have been looking forward to this ever since Sydney was awarded the games. With the cost, we will only be able to see Sydney and then 3 days in Melbourne, but it will probably just wet my appetite so I have to come back when there aren't mobs of people.
