We made it home. Had to stay two extra days in Sydney because of a bird strike to our plane. Australia was wonderful and the people are very friendly. Though I'm now officially broke because of this trip.
. I highly recommend going to a Melbourne slam. The facility was amazing! We now have two slams off the books, Australian open, and the US open. Maybe if I save up enough money in the next five years we can get to Wimbledon or the French.
