What our travelers say:
                4    Eat at the Quay Restaurant, Sydney




                     I highly recommend dinner at the Quay Restaurant before or a er
                you see a performance at the Sydney Opera House. It’s situated literally
                directly across the harbor from the Opera House, with spectacular views

                (especially a er dark). This is a high-end restaurant, but I had one of the
                best meals in my life. Their fish dishes are particularly excellent. You need
                to make a reservation as far ahead as possible. Try to get a table next to
                the windows facing the Opera House for an Australian dining experience
                you won’t soon forget!

              5    Get a SIM card.



                   If you are planning on using your smartphone while abroad, unlock it before
              leaving the U.S. and then purchase a local SIM card when you get to the airport
              overseas. Telstra has the best coverage in Australia, for about $30 per day. They also
              o er an international roaming plan and a prepaid option that will work for you in

              New Zealand.
