Recently started Girl in the Wall by AK Gnuse. I found it in a bookstore in the Garden District of New Orleans.

Breakfast

Sunday 28th Dec QF509 BNE-SYD 0715- 0950 We were meant to be in 6ABCD, but overnight had been moved to 4ABCD. Must have been the only WPs and most important VIPs on the flight! 🤣🤣 We got an Uber to the airport and SIL drove MIL, meeting us at the Qantas checkin. We went to the Premium checkin...

Pre-booking At something like 90 days before the cruise, we could pre-book various experiences, such as the wine and coughtail tasting classes, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and dining at Palo, the adults-only restaurant that costs extra. After doing some whisky, wine and champagne tasting classes...

A stateroom door from the 2023 cruise: Take a glow stick pixie dust The fish and fish extender in the wild: Our neighbours in 2023-24

After booking the Grandma Squad's room in late Nov, getting us all checked in online, we started a weekly dinner with the Grandmas for debriefing and questions. We also started a group chat so I could eke information to them, unlike the Teen who tended to excitedly information dump on her...

We are a Disney family. My Teen and I have been to every park, except Shanghai. Mr Katie has been to every park except Shanghi and Paris. In 2023, we went on the Disney Wonder in its first season in Oz and sailed on a 6 night cruise from Sydney to Noumea and back to Sydney. We bought a...

Silver for now.

Good Morning, Hobart. Later I will step on Tasmanian soil for the first time, leaving the NT as my last state/territory to visit. Taken me a while! On the Derwent river with Mr Katie, the Teen and MIL for what would have been FIL’s 86th birthday. He was named for this river.

Thanks and good luck, @Mattg !

I've read elsewhere (other threads on here), that the airside bus isn't operating at the moment, you need to catch a landside bus anyway. I'd consider the train, even though it costs money, should be faster than the bus at this time of year.

I tried last year to get Copilot or ChatGPT to help me create a list of all Broadway shows that were on during our week in NY, and I wanted it to show what was showing each day at what time. It didn't work. The AI told me to go to the website (broadway.com?) that I was making my manual list...

Looks like I forgot to add our final trip of the year. Back in September, we decided to add a cruise to our family travels. As Disney's third season wasn't selling well (this upcoming Summer), there was a 30-35% off special, and that convinced us to jump on the 5 night NYE cruise. We fly down...

My Teen is currently working at the local airport (retaily/food service kind of job) and comes home with some appalling stories of how customers treat them at times!

I hope you get to see Sid, @QF WP! Ask him about his European holiday. Due to his holiday, he couldn't work the bar at my recent birthday party, but we had the pleasure of his help at FIL's wake last week. 💜

Driving in the Brisbane storm yesterday afternoon, around 3pm, we'd left Manly and were heading for Wynnum Plaza to try to get undercover (we had been at the Manly Boathouse post family-only goodbyes before FIL was being cremated) and of the four passengers in my car, I had three all trying to...

Wearing my new birthday shift from my BFF at work today. Has a pic of a cinnamon roll, with this text "Synonym Rolls, just like Grammar used to make" :D

Yup, disappeared during Covid I think.

FIL passed peacefully tonight, with us all there (well, not younger grandsons and BIL). SIL called Mr Katie at about 5:30 this afternoon knowing he wasn’t planning on getting to hospital until 8, saying he’d best get there. So we all went up and made it to have some time with him before he took...

SIL is at hospital with FIL and has just shared pall care's doctor's comments this morning. Dr asked if everyone who needs to know knows, and if they've been to visit. He will be staying in the palliative care/oncology ward he's in and not transferring to St Vincent's. He was restless and...
