Sydney Australia - always love being back here
















I love it here - what more can I say.  Always feels like home and a place I am totally comfortable and in with the groove and vibe of how it works.
Great weather weekend as well!

Melbourne Australia - Hanging out along the river






























I know my way around Melbourne and never have any trouble getting where I need to be but I have never really understood the orientation of the city.  This trip I finally understood where north is when you are in the center city.  It helped put so many other things in perspective.  
Stayed at a great spot right along the river and most everything I needed to do I could walk along the river to the meeting.  
Lots of great biking seems to have evolved over the past few years - more bikes and more paths.  It is great.  Melbourne is much less hilly than Sydney so much easier to navigate.  
Such a great mix of old and new.
Mostly lovely weather but we did have a storm come through and the winds that preceded it were amazing - wow!

Hong Kong - St Patrick's Day. Looking for the party.








We got the word on which Irish Pubs would be having St Patrick's Day in Hong Kong. 
We set out early, which may have been our mistake.  We found lots of decorations as we moved from place to place but not that many looking to be Irish.  
Enjoyed the day anyway and  did our best to celebrate the day and Erin's birthday.
