More Sydney planning

I've been doing more planning for Sydney this morning. The backpacker's I'm staying at is so close to the city and to Darling Harbour [a 2 minute walk] so I won't have to take much public transport apart from a bus to the Uni. I have the routes figured out for that and where to catch the bus so it is all sorted. I've never been this organised for a trip before. When going to NZ and Vanuatu with Yorick, he did most of the planning. He suggested places to go and I would have agreed or disagreed but this trip is all me. I'm never this organised in my own life. At work I'm organised but not personally. I like it. I need to be more organised and I know that once I have my own house, whether it's renting in Sydney or even if/when I'm in the dorms I'll be more organised and neat. I want to be.

My long list of activities will cover 2 days. There are city area activities and Darling Harbour activities but I still haven't decided on what day to cover which area, especially since I have just found out that the back packers is only a 2 minute walk to Darling Harbour. I thought I'd have to make a special trip out there but it looks like I won't. It's not too far. On my walk with mum yesterday we mentioned walking boots and sales in stores at this time of year. When I go to town today I might check it out so I can take my new hiking/walking boots to Sydney with me. I'll be doing a lot of walking around the city and Darling Harbour and ugg boots probably won't cut it.

I found an online website that sells tickets for a combined Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Wildlife World pass for $48.95. I might leave booking that for when I'm there, just in case I don't get enough time to cover everything. Those two places would take at least an hour each and I already have many activities planned. I get there at lunch time on the Friday so I will have half a day for activities. Saturday is reserved for the Uni Open Day [plus there are some markets near that I might be able to go to] until 4pm and Sunday is wide open. I'll have to get up really early on Sunday to fit everything in. I'll have to take a book or two to read while I'm over there for evenings. I won't be staying up too late. I might fit in a movie or something to pass the evening time.

I love that I've been planning this so well. It's one of those things I say I'll do but won't really do it and for this trip it's the opposite. I'm so happy about it and proud of my efforts. There is so much to do it needed to be done. I'm still working on it and might even go as far as to plan the order of the activities I do relating to where they are on the map instead of walking back and forwards. I must get those boots.
