Well today we went to Sydney and spent most of the day at Darling Harbour as John gave Troy a flight simulator gift voucher from FLIGHT EXPERIENCE http://www.flightexperience.com.au/. It's apparently the next best thing to flying a commerical airliner.
So in english it is where your husband gets to pretend to fly a Boeing 737. Yep that's it! It's definately a guy thing, but it was interesting to see the whole set up of it.
Troy got to take the controls under the guidance of a real life instructor and actually taxi, take off, navigate and land the simulator. So apparently it is "as real as it gets" to flying.
Both Troy and John had a go at it and really enjoyed it. They both got to fly the notorious Kai Tak approach into Hong Kong airport.
Earlier on in the day we went and had a quick look over the "Endeavour" at the Maritime Museum. The kids loved that. It was really interesting and kids had a lot of fun. We ended up becoming members to the Museum so we would be more likely to come back and have a look inside the Museum and at the other ships.
On the way home we went and had a look at the Sea Cliff road (the road/bridge that goes around cliffs and over the waters edge) near Thiroull. We also went to the Stanwell Park look out and did the usually tourist photos. What a view you have from there!
As we were in the area I thought it would be a nice surprise to see the relatives at Bulli. So we made a surprise visit to find that all the Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles went home earlier in the day and all was left behind to hold the fort was some of the cousins, my brother, my two nephews and my father who has apparently had a big afternoon as was now sleeping! Right - big afternoon of something! LOL.
Anyway another good day had over the christmas/new year holidays.
