Dec. 14 2015 Australia and New Zealand Pre Tour Activities
Hello fellow travelers,
I am getting excited about the upcoming trip! I am arriving 2 days early and have done research on things to do prior to our trip starting. I am sharing some of the things that interest me should anyone want to join me. I will be "booking" reservations prior to leaving home in California where possible. I checked with the Opera House and found out the season runs through November and everything will be dark while we are there.
Fellow Tour members: So far I have "communicated" with Bob7740 from Miami. (please send me your contact info. I tried to friend you on FB.) and Dinny from New York. Are there any other travelers out there that would like to reach out prior to our cocktail and dinner on Monday the 14th?

I was on this trip at the same time last year. While there were no Operas taking place during this time, I had an opportunity to see a wonderful Christmas Show in the Opera House. The acoustics are incredible. If you want to experience the sound I would suggest seeing the Christmas Show. We were offered discounted tickets since we toured the Opera House earlier in the day. This is a pretty active trip...I would suggest not trying to cram too much in on the front end.
Have FUN!
