Australia - day 1-3

Well we made it to Sydney Australia after a long day of travel. It is Tuesday here, we lost Monday in flight.  We started off leaving Phoenix at 5:15 arriving in LA at 6:25 pm.  We had a 4 hour layover which all the girls from all over met in LA so they had time to get acquainted.   We boarded our plane at 9:45 and sat their until after 11:00 because we couldn't arrive in Sydney until 6:00 am on Tuesday.   It was a nice flight although very long.  It did seem to go by faster than I thought it would.  I did seem to sleep a little bit, more than I thought I would.  Taylor slept most of the flight.

We arrived on time and by the time we went through customs it was after 8:00.  They made all the girls take out their spikes and the customs washed them.  Something about our dirt could have some contaminations that they don't want.   Anyway we got on the bus after all that and headed to Australia's most famous beach, Bondi Beach.  The tour guide, Brad, dropped us off and we had a 45 minute hike along the trail which was along the beach line.  It started off raining pretty hard but quit and we all dried with the long walk that we made.   It was a gorgeous walk along the Sea.

We had lunch and then took a drive to see the Sydney Bay but it was too cloudy to see it very clearly.

Our flight from Phx to LA.   There were 6 players on this flight.

All the girls minus two and the coaches.
 Excited to leave for our trip
