Reflections on our multi-office hop in NZ earlier this month: Departing ferry from Auckland to Waiheke Is. Oneroa Bay, Waiheke Is. Beautiful. Waiheke's scenically stunning but expensive. Matapuri Bay, Northland. 30 min drive from Whangarei via Tutukaka. One of my favourites. Driving the...

We flew from SIN to AKL via MEL and had to rescreen our carry on in transit through MEL. Wow.

Tonight's office, the MEL QP. Downgraded from WP to SG on Friday but hey, I'll take that! Thank dog for soft landings. Been a while since I've been here, seems brighter and new'ish furnishings. Like it. Not the dark, depressing dungeon I remember. Tonight's dinner of champions: hot dog and red...

Ok, you win.

Yesterday's office, the Northcote Tavern (Built in Northcote Point, AKL in the late 1850's) for a couple of pints on the way home. The Sunday sesh was going off! Too busy for inside and garden bar pics.

We did Thai AirAsia from Hua Hin to Chiang Mai a couple of weeks ago. Took the flex package (meal and seat selection (1A&B), priority baggage (and it was) etc) which was still cheaper than a Qantas saver flight between CBR and SYD. Yes, I also had Uncle Chin's Chicken Rice. Looked a bit sketchy...

Nice coughtail. What was it?

The Nut's departed SIN on Friday (25th Oct) bound for AKL via MEL. Granted, not the most efficient way of getting from point A to point B but there wouldn't have been any Qantas F lounge visits and experiences along the way. Did a quick lap through Fort Canning before check-out. It was super...

Yesterday's office: Gardens by the Bay but that's a whole separate post. Finished at the 57th floor Lavo Restaurant at the Marina Bay Sands for mid arvo thirst quencher. Tip: there's a minimum spend of SG$30 ea which is easy but you get a snack (Indonesian curry flavoured popcorn and olives)...

Wax on wax off?

The Nut's departed Chiang Mai this morning for Singers. Chiang Mai International's a decent dual purpose airport that's serviced by a variety of domestic and international airlines such as JeJuair, Eaststar Jet and HKexpress. For today's flight we were on Scoot. Check-in and customs was pretty...

Hey Fly, Hua Hin was great, we stayed three nights which was enough for us. As you'd appreciate my experiences and yours could differ but here goes; the Laksasubha was a really good place to stay. Central, beach front resort, small horizon pool overlooking the beach, 2 for 1 happy two hours, sit...

Last day in Hua Hin this morning, stayed at the Laksasubha Resort. Rustic old school (not Marriott or Accord), fantastic place to stay and great staff. Still monsoonal ATM but makes for a great sunrise over breakfast. (The minced pork noodle breakfast soup was next level good) And the adjacent...

Nice. My lock screen. Taken a year ago after a couple hours after leaving SYD for DFW.

Mrs Nut and I were in the SYD F lounge on Tuesday morning for breakfast. I had the Signature breakfast, Mrs Nut had the corn fritters and shared the pancakes with accompanying tea, good coffee and a couple of Mimosas for me. All up, a good breakfast.

....as the Nut's bid farewell to the Qantas First lounge for one last time (WP coming to an end), I looked back with fond memories Past the green wall then out through the frosted glass doors... (ok, might be over dramatising it since I've only been twice) Then onto the Finnair office for...

This morning's office for Mrs Nut and I is the Qantas F lounge in Sydney before transferring to the flight to Bangkok in an hour or so. First check-in suite. Mrs Nut walked up to the Economy check-in and with a smirk said "keep going", the tried the Business line.. "keep going" then said...

Mrs Nut and I have kicked off our long awaited five week holiday starting off by catching the Saturday midday train from Canberra to Sydney. No pics (forgot TBH) but the trip was relaxing all the more so over a few wines and snacks. The "office" since Saturday has been Coogee with a quick side...

What makes you say that? 🤔
