    Little things I like

    When your upgrade request for a family member comes through! Dad and step-mum upgraded on QF103 tomorrow, Y+ to J. 🩷 They're both thrilled, and this will likely be their last international flight together (they are cruising back from HNL). Dad now has quite bad anxiety over flying, and had a...

    What cheeses me off

    Or you get home, a week later do the washing, and find a new pair of jeans has a security tag attached! Didn't beep when we left the store, nor when I took it back to get it removed. The sales assistant helping us that afternoon seriously needed some coffee, sugar, a nap, or all three!

    Me. A bit overly dramatic, but I sometimes wonder if I should have been a mother.

    Domestic to international transfer at LAX

    As long as it's the one PNR and any luggage is booked through, no worries. Separate PNRs with luggage - need to collect luggage and take it to TBIT. Separate PNRs with HLO- use the airside connector from T4 to TBIT and collect your BP, if required, from the Oneworld or QF FLounge.

    Great text message from my BFF yesterday - "Cancer free is me!" She had a few moles/skin bits cut out a few weeks ago, and the one on her tummy tested positive as melanoma. So back to cut more out last week. Really relived the pathology came back so quickly and she wasn't stressing all week...

    ☕ What's your definition of "good" coffee?

    Barista coffee, where possible, with my home barista. Most work days I'm happy enough with the coffee machine that grinds beans and makes me a long black when I press the button! Decided last year to stop spending $6/day on coffee as the machine is decent enough. In the US, I do drink...

    Discussion Dogs, Pups, K 9’s and man’s best friend in general [with Pictures]

    I saw the most gorgeous floofball at the park the other day - he was a Samoyed and Golden Retriever cross. Light golden colour. I called him Mr Floof. A Border Collie or Whippet puppy tried to play with him a few times, but Mr Floof just wanted to lie down. I didn't get a picture, but was...

    What are you reading right now?

    If you like crime, her books are excellent. I haven’t listened to any of the audio books so can’t comment on how they sound. I am a bit of a raving fan of Candice, though! 😂

    Good to see you, too! Yes, I’m mostly hoping for help from the ACAT assessment for when MIL needs some respite/supervision for FIL so she can grocery shop and go to the gym with all the ladies 20yrs younger than her. I can also send Mr Katie over, as they have internet at home, but he may...

    FIL is 84; 85 later this year. MIL is 81 for whatever that might be worth.

    Moving some discussion of FIL's medical matters here rather than the Member Chit Chat. FIL was let out of hospital on Thursday. Went to visit, along with both SILs on Saturday. MIL tells me she'd spoken to the cardiologist with my AFF suggestions (geriatrician, ACAT, etc). Cardiologist said...

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    Just when I thought it was extreme having 4 trips to the US this year. Guess I'll wait for phase 2.
