I know this sounds weeny for a man but the first time I went to SYD I was just beyond amazed. Anyway, the flight out on a beautiful summer day and I am depressed as hell about going back to winter time in NYC. The last land I could see from the a/c window was Biondi Beach on very sunny day. Luckily, I was in a row by myself and started to cry but don't think anyone noticed.
Of course, every flight that I have taken to Oz since then has been completely full. Probably would have held it together better with many more paxs around me.
