Dont worry, I'm sure you'll look back at the end of the trip and only remember the times you felt excited and overwhelmed. Australia's a nice place. Have a great trip!

I just had another look at your itinerary and it looks like I am flying out of Sydney Airport an hour after you this coming Saturday morning. Unfortunately I can't offer you lounge access (and I'm flying out of a different terminal anyway) but I may be able to pop over to T3 and say hi if I can somehow get to the airport a little early.
 
Odds are I would only have been able to walk in, grab a drink then walk out, but I thank you for trying, and thank you to everyone for the great and advice and occasional assurance, it has been very helpful (and sometimes entertaining :) ).
 
I'm from Brisbane and I don't think Brisbane has anything to compare with Taronga Park Zoo. However the Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast is pretty good. I'd suggest going to either the sunshine or Gold Coast to see the beach as the Americans I know rave about our beaches. Enjoy your trip and planning
 
This may be my last post for a while, time for sleep, t-21 hours (and 26min) until take off!!!!
 
The trip was good, not something I think I would do again. As for those who said the Sydney trip was too full, I could walk all day virtually non stop, she coudln't :P but thats ok. The wedding was excellent, the birthday bash was more of a walk around the sanctuary (as he conked out halfway through, had as many as 3 lorikeets on me at once (wonderful!). Enjoyed the trip but happy to be home.
