Sydney

Well we went up and had a great run. We stayed at the Holiday Inn at Potts Point. Sounds snobby but the hotel was just above Kings Cross Station! We have stayed at the Cross numerous times and have always loved it. Easy to get to and lots of cheap eats in the area. The hotel had 120 car parking spaces and ultimately that was it's biggest draw card. We didn't want to pay for parking in the city all day on the Monday, while at our appointment. The hotel itself was lovely and we were very impressed with it's level of inclusions.

Monday went as well as can be expected. We caught the train into Wynyard Station and the building we were after was directly across the street! The appointment with Dr Rory McCarthy was quite an eye opener. He stated within 5 minutes that String Bean was as sharp as a tack. Testing went well and there were no real surprises there. High IQ, low performance, easily distracted etc.




After the testing we have a clear plan of attack and a good idea of where to go from here. Certain things that we just assumed were the right thing to do, would clearly backfire for her. Given how anxious I was about the testing, the reality was quite different. Rory put me at ease straight away and was able to expand on my limited knowledge of the subject.

We all enjoyed our mini break up to Sydney and it looks like we'll be doing so every 6 months for awhile.
