For my own convenience, here are my travel plans, spelled out as clearly as I know how.

All flight bookings are completed. Fool that I am, I booked the flights out of order and couldn't use my Frequent Flyer points (longish boring story.) So that pushed the price up by about $900, dammit.

Funnily enough, Sydney is the only place I have problems with accommodation. The person at whose house I was to be staying is no longer available as they are leaving Sydney soon... so it looks like other arrangements will have to be made.
