>>>I don't suppose that invitation to stay in Sydney extends to 15 September - 1 October, 2000? :)
>>Ahhhh the Olympics. Winning that baby was a real treat!
>>A two week stay, well Josh, *that* might just test the wife's patience a little :-) ; but hey, a few nights would be cool (I mean it). We're actually in Newcastle which is a freeway drive 110km to Sydney. That "close" in Aus. terms.
>Of course I would also love to see Sydney. A friend of mine was there in August and said it was one of the friendliest places he'd ever been.

And between the games and new years eve, you can pop across the tasman sea and visit New Zealand. Then you will have visited 2 dramatically different (but both great) countries in one go. -- Sarah ;)
