Part I   Sydney

     As I am only child, after my father's death(Oct.97), I have been spending very busy days to take care of my mother.

She has been tired both mentally and physically because of nursing her husband for several years.  She has been hospitalized for 3 months(Feb.~April 98).  I was in that busy situation, nevertheless I wanted to go to Sydney to see Cliff's concert.  

I talked to my husband about my plan going to Sydney.  

He is tolerant of my Cliff's chase, but he said,"You have to give up your plan this time, just after your father's death, you went to

Gospel Tour. Only 3months have passed since then, too much!"

    Yes!  I am a selfish woman about this matter. I never listen to other people's opinion.  I insisted on going to Sydney in my mind.  I had four reasonable(?) reasons.

1.   I cleared my possibility of cancer, so this was reward to

       myself.

2.   I wanted to get enough power from Cliff's stage to overcome

       the difficulty about mother.

3.   I was lucky enough to get very front row ticket.

     I thought that Cliff called me.----not understandable

       reason?

4.   I wanted to visit other city except London.

    I have prepared to go on a trip steadily in secret.   Though Australia is safety country, I was a bit pursued by uneasiness because of my first visit to Sydney.  Moreover, plane ticket is the most expensive in February to Australia.  I've got Qantas ticket 500 pounds with return.
