The Ryder Cup    -    Out and Around Sydney      -    Trip up the East Coast

I arrived in Australia on a Monday night and met John at the subway station.  I had spent a month in New Zealand and would now conquer the Island Continent.  The accents didn't change too much so I figured that it wouldn't be a problem.  John picked me up and what do you know, had plans to go straight to the Irish Pub. . .with real Irish people (from Ireland no less)  We took my luggage and walked right into the local pub where John had three Irishmen and a beer waiting for me. 

    John gave me a great introduction to Sydney, or at least the Irish parts of Sydney and we went home to grab a good nights sleep.  If I had only known what we were up for the in the up and coming week. . .a Ryder Cup, a shrimp on the barbie, and hanging out with Stiffler.
