Sydney is starting to gear up for the APEC conference.

It rolls into Sydney the week of Sept 2nd. And it is going to totally screw the city.

Last week I decided that on balance it would probably be better to leave town. Almost impossible to get to my office. There will be a total lock down in place during the period, particularly now that Bush is coming to Sydney two days early.

Seems like I was not the only one to think about this and make a last minute dash. Real estate agents are going through huge demand for holiday rentals for the week and particularly for the weekend of the 7th.

Tomorrow I am going to a briefing on what APEC security will look like. Should be interesting.
