Bridge Climb

To think that more than a year ago I committed to going to Australia to participate in the World Masters Games and now I leave in 45 days. The only thing left for me to do now is get my Visa so I can enter Australia - different than my passport. My travel agent will arrange that for me. I've already spent more money than I have saved for the trip and I'm sure I'll be running around frantically during the last week and spending more. My training now involves running in the heat of the day to acclimatize for Australia's climate. I'm also still riding my bike, but not as often as when I was training for triathlon.

Last night my Sydney room mate, Janis, and I purchased tickets for the Bridge Climb in Sydney. We decided to go on the late twilight climb. We will start the climb during daylight and get to the summit of the bridge during twilight and into the night. Seeing Sydney's lights from that vantage point will be spectacular. It was more expensive than the day climbs, but apparently well worth the extra money. Oh, what the hell - it's a once in a lifetime experience. Check it out. Click on the picture then move your mouse around. I'm really looking forward to it. It cost $258 AUD, so it'll be around $233 Cdn using today's exchange rate. Dad thinks I'm crazy, but he's not as adventurous as I am.

Now that my departure date is fast approaching, I will post blogs more often, so watch for them.
