    What are you reading?/Book discussion

    I read something by Xinran a few years ago and really enjoyed it - I don't think it was the same book though. Currently I am enjoying "K is for Killer" one of the Kinsey Millhone alphabet series books by Sue Grafton. Not very challenging, but it was a nice light book to carry with me when I was...

    How do you share your travel adventures on social media?

    I used Travelpod for my last trip too. I did post some other bits on Facebook, but they were more of a specific incident or observation at a point in time, and the blog reserved for a full description and photos. I posted the link to FB each time I uploaded, then my friends could choose to read...

    How do you explain your frequent flying?

    I like to tell of a couple of the more complicated ways I earn points - "use this card through that website to by a voucher then use that to buy something else...." It makes people realise it's a lot of work. I had someone say today it seemed like a second job. Most people say good for you doing...

    ADL dinner Sat 9 May

    It's an extra to the old book - bring last year's gold card with you! (Or you can use this year's if you want)

    ADL dinner Sat 9 May

    Anna said above she would be interstate, so I have taken the liberty to call Amarin Thai and have been able to add two more people to the booking - so locky & logos 01 we will see you there!

    Do you need passport when booking flight

    I can't remember which airline it was, but I had issues booking flights for one of my daughters a couple of years ago because I had to put passport details in and even though she had a valid passport it had less than six months on it. Couldn't book until I had new passport for her. Was not happy...

    Does anyone ever use their full luggage allowance on holidays?

    Not even close - and I am NB so no extra allowance. Currently travelling for 25 days in both hot and cold climates and luggage is around 14kg (+carry on) - and that's only because I have picked up some books along the way. Mr Romney is about the same, kids (teenage girls) around 12kg. We do a...

    ADL dinner Sat 9 May

    Thanks Anna for the FB prompt :-) Add me +1 as platinum. We might be running late though (I couldn't see a time?) as we won't get there until 7:30 at the earliest.

    Japan TR (include JL & CX F review)

    I have just read your whole TR in one sitting - great job Boomy! All the photos really make it! Japan has never really figured in my thoughts when I have been choosing where to travel but lately it has started to interest me. After reading this I am really keen to fit it in sometime in the next...

    ANZ Black Lounge Access

    My husband has an ANZ Black card and we are looking to use it for lounge access. I have an additional card. Do I need to activate the card before I can use it for lounge access?

    Vietnam Beach Resorts

    Hoi An is a great spot, but a bit cold to get in the water when we were there in January a couple of years ago. Kids got in though! Phu Quoc was a lot better weather, but probably a bit less "nice". Great beaches and we had a fantastic day out fishing/snorkelling. I don't remember many western...

    Taking kids out of school for OS holidays

    I have always taken my children out of school for holidays. I didn't when my eldest daughter was in year 12, but she had two trips away for a week each during the year with school activities (music) anyway so that had the same effect as if we had taken her out of school. My youngest daughter is...

    Thank you Red Roo

    Funny you mention it - I bought some gift vouchers at Reading Cinemas only today and they made a point of saying they never expire! Hoping more places also head this way. There is somewhere else I have bought vouchers a year or two ago that didn't expire - Bunnings maybe??? Can't really...

    Thank you Red Roo

    We are all quick to complain when something goes wrong, so I want to praise Red Roo and Qantas for helping us today when they really didn't have to! I bought some Qantas vouchers this time last year and for some reason had in my head they expired on 21st Dec. I went to book some flights last...
