    AFF Gathering #18 in MEL on 21-23 November 2025

    It might only be 20 but gee it's a little humid. Looking forward to the MCG tour after a lovely walk along the Yarra. Rowing regatta and Brazilian Festival seen along the way.

    We literally walked out and into Skybus. Unless I'm going switchover dear, I didn't hear the power bank warning. I didn't realise until @NM told me that the Indigo used to be the Holiday Inn. It was one of my work hotels back in the day. It's one bijou room

    Brizvegas was super hot and humid this morning so in shorts on the bus down. Jacket and pants at the ready for when I get down there!

    The bus from BNE is full to busting but @NM and I are being looked after nicely up the front. The new beef salad was quite nice. Nice enough that there is none left.

    A first for me. Packing the day before! For four seasons in three days of course :) Hoping to meet NM in the lounge tomorrow before we fly down. Airtrain to BNE, and Skybus already ticketed. Indigo is very close to Southern Cross. Looking forward to the weekend very much.

    Yes, true. Was responding more to Drcam and of course he may well rock a skirt :)

    What makes a good airport and what's your favourite?

    Aitutaki. Unless you've flown in or out of there you won't understand. Not much more than a shed. Smiling casual Cook Islanders to greet you and see you off. No automation. No long wait for bags. No overzealous security. Best of all - the view as you come in to land or as you take off. It...

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    Weekend trip to NZ next Jan. I hadn't bothered with insurance. $100-150 = 1500 so I'll get 1635 points. If it's 10 SC for 1000 I think I'm good.

    I'm happy with the 50SC I would have flown to get.. For 20 I've spent $135 on an insurance policy for a short trip to NZ. The other 30 was just stand standard cc and Woolies spend. LTG is just a flight away now.
