We set the alarm for 5:00 am so we could catch the 6:10 am shuttle (Yellow Bus) to the airport. We arrived at the bus early and ended up getting the earlier, 5:50 am, bus which was fine since we had heard warnings about the long lines. We also have no TSA Precheck or Priority in countries outside of the US, so we got there early. Turned out we had plenty of time and no surprises at the strip search.
Between movies and shows we burned up the 3.5 hour flight with a break for a light breakfast (yogurt). Another customs check in Australia and then an Uber ride to the hotel (Dorsett) in downtown Melbourne.
We decided to walk across town to the Melbourne Museum to get a little history. We spent a couple of hours there and then hit "museum saturation" and walked back to the hotel to rest. Then out to an English Pub for dinner.
It's New Years Eve and there are 9:30 pm fireworks just a couple of blocks from here for the kids (and old folks who can't stay up until midnight), then another fireworks show at midnight. I'll let you know if we made either of those...
