If you decide to go out for an adult night out with your wife and want to club it up, go to Kings Cross. Be wary though, there are some trouble makers there. You can climb the Sydney Harbour bridge, but its expensive.
If i can think of anywhere else i'll reply again. Like i said, its been awhile. You're going to have a blast though! It's one of my favorite cities.
There's actually a nice zoo/aquarium/sky tower package special we're thinking about.

Have a great trip!
This had me rolling - we were actually talking about getting season passes to six flags before we started discussing Sydney!

Worse than that, we're leaving from ATL. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to get a full week off with three in high school so we're making the best with what we have! Thanks for the recommendations!

However the amount of non revs that can show up on the list out of both stations (particularly SFO) at the last minute is incredible.
We're looking at DL but using UA as a back-up. So far the loads look good on both and we are flexible by a couple of days just in case of a MX snafu.
Thanks for the info folks, it all helps and any additional advice is welcome!
