You remember things in life that at that time in your life or maybe for your whole life, were/are life changing.
Milestones in your life could be as small as learning to tie your shoes, learning to ride a bike, or bigger things like, your first time to fly in a plane, your graduation from high school, your graduation from college, your first true love, your wedding day, the birth of a child...all of these can be recalled with fond memories and a sense of accomplishment.
Today we reached a milestone that not many people in the world ever have the opportunity to reach. We arrived in Sydney, Australia. Very early in the morning, our ship sailed into this city. The quiet was shocking. The views from the ship were of one of the world's most beautiful harbors. The sun was coming up to say "Hello, welcome to your seventh continent. Enjoy the "show". We "snuck up" on Sydney while she was still asleep and watched the sun rise over the top of one of the world's most famous and recognizeable sites, The Sydney Opera House. Some things in life are better than you ever imagined.
It has been almost three years since we took our first "big" trip to a new continent with Kathleen and Nicky, Africa. Today the four of us checked off our last continent, Australia. There have been MANY sites along the way. Many new friendships made. Many "treasures" that cover the walls, floors, ceilings and doors of our house. To be able to share these experiences together is a gift. As we continue our travels, we remember the good, the bad and the ugly (not much was ugly). We hope you have enjoyed watching us travel in this blog to reach this milestone in life! The story won't end here but it certainly was a day we won't ever forget. SEVEN...who would have ever thought??
