2026 travel plans

Not a political post, but I have just cancelled the US portion of my trip in June. I simply just don't want to be there. So it is Asia at the end of this week and Europe/Asia in June and early July including the LHR lounge crawl
so far for 2026:
  • March - Lord Howe Island for 10 days
  • June/July: SYD-DOH-Malta (1 week) / Malta-Sicily (2 weeks) / Sicily-Munich (Dolomites 2 weeks) / Austria (1 Week) - used VA points for outbound flights in J and SQ points for MUC-SIN-SYD
  • August - 2 weeks Fiji (Tokoriki and Vomo) - one way paid J on FJ and one way AA award in J on FJ
  • October - 1 week on Lizard Island (planned not yet booked)
That will pretty much empty our FF accounts except for a ton AC points which seem to be pretty much useless at the moment - let's hope this improves.
I am off to Malta too - very excited, Been on the bucket list for a while

Where are you staying in Malta and how many days
I didn't select the hotel - meeting up with son and DIL after two years of not seeing him 😔(he FaceTimes every week but still) and her parents and we all get on really well. For 7 nights. Staying at AX The Palace at Sliema.
After Malta it's Lisbon for a week staying at Convent Square Hotel - IHG (we were going to do an NCL cruise through Portugal and Spain but we cancelled) then on to Morocco for the LE 11 day tour. Then to Bali for a few days to get over jet lag. Quite a nice trip.
