We recently went on an Australian adventure and our first stop was Sydney.  After the longest flight of my life (15 hours from LAX), we arrived in Sydney two days after our departure from Denver and at 6:30 am local time.  We threw jet lag to the wind and were ready to explore!

We stayed at the Pier One Marriott which is just under the Sydney Harbor Bridge and in a great location to explore all of the city’s major landmarks.  On our first morning, we walked along the water with Luna Park across the harbor, headed to see the Opera House and in search of caffeine!
