Where in the world is our busy business traveler?Brian got quite a few calls while we were in San Francisco, insisting he travel ASAP to a meeting in Australia. He tried to save the “vacation”, but business is business.
Luckily, Saint Alicia Reyes, of the Adrian Reyes', had our house key and scurried over and found his passport and over-nighted it to us. Bless her. After hours and hours on various websites, he was able to book a flight (don’t ask how much it cost) and left on Sunday for Sydney and Melbourne.
Can all you geography buffs find Melbourne on the map? Let’s hope Brian can!
And for extra credit, who can name the capitol of Australia? (no internet research allowed!)
I will be updating the blog in his absence with out version of Tales from the City, San Francisco as we saw it.
stay tuned

Melbourne is located in southern Australia in the province of Victoria. Canberra, located slightly northeast of Melbourne, is the capital of Australia. Perth, however, which has been a joke for sometime, is located on the west side of the country. Incidentally, dingos stealing babies really is a problem for some locals and, despite Americans finding this a humorous phrase, Australians do not.
Lesson complete.
My parents are going to San Fran soon. More precisely, they are going to Gilroy for the Garlic Festival. I will pass on your blog post.
Vegas,
Your killing me...
