I have Tim Tans and Cherry Ripes.

About those spoiler outtakes? Just exactly how spoiled are we talking here? Slightly spoiled, like a little girl who begs and begs for a pony in the backyard, only to wake up on Christmas Day and find she's been signed up for riding lessons on the understanding that she keep her room clean and help around the house? Or thoroughly gone rotten-bad spoiled, like mayonnaise that's been sitting in the back of the frig for so long that it's developed a thriving and quite intellectually advanced culture of bacteria? Um... not that /I/ ever let my fridge go for that long... purely a hypothetical example, that one. Hey Jenny? About those spoiler outtakes? Just exactly how spoiled are we talking here?

You didn't spill anything, we snooped it out on our own. And there's more stuff coming? Cool! I'm trying to avoid buying an iPhone because (a) I don't really need it (have a phone, iPod and PDA alread) and (b) AT&T is not my carrier. But everytime I see the commercials I weaken.

Different section of the Harbour altogether (but it is still beautiful at night). I don't think it's easy to appreciate the sheer size of Sydney Harbour until you've actually seen it (but I haven't really seen any harbours to compare it to - it could be tiny in world terms for all I know).

People always say they had a great flight and their hotel was wonderful and their room had a great view. BUT they don't say they were travelling for a whole day and they're almost gaga with fatigue. Those are the important things. And the random pictures. ;+) Sounds like you're going to have a ball. Enjoy. Hey, this is just like being there.

Isn't that the Opera House to your right? It is even beautiful at night. Have a great time. See as much as you can while you're there. Enjoy the conference too. You have just made a bunch of Down Under Cherries very, very happy. Maybe Bob will let you sleep through LTD for five days. Not! What a gorgeous view from your room.

Try to see the botanical gardens while you're there (if you have time). The bats are not to be missed. lol One of my CP's is attending the conference! She's from Tasmania and a fabulous, fabulous writer. Say hi to Babe King if you meet her!!! From the view out your window, that looks like the same hotel we stayed at when we were in Sydney.

That starts the day after I get home. Yep, that's Darling Harbor. Walked all over it yesterday. Well, at least to the restaurant and up and down the quay. Today, Krissie is taking me shopping, which means she says, "We're going here," and I say, "Good." Also there's some kind of wildlife whatsis right outside the hotel, so I think we're going to see kangeroos. Because tomorrow, we're the kangeroos; the conference starts. It's winter here, but winter is wonderful, about sixty degrees except everything's in Celsius so it's about 20C. Lovely. The iPhone. I love it. It has a few flaws, like no way to delete all the e-mail at once, but otherwise, it's the best gadget EVER. And it takes great pictures. And you really can watch video on it, the screen is superb. Shhhh. Mollie made me promise not to tell anybody about the new CM site until she's finished with it. It's not done. She's still tweaking things. Don't tell ANYBODY. The outtakes probably aren't any fun until you read the book anyway. And now, off to do Krissie's bidding.
