    An unanticipated but exciting opportunity to tour southern Africa in April 2026 - advice and input requested

    I went to a local currency shop here in Brisbane to get starter cash. We needed to pay our tour driver the tour supplement when we met in Vic Falls. We could have taken the cash out at an ATM at JNB but didn't want to risk not getting it. We had a wad of small USD but tipping was actually...

    Adelaide AFF meet added to the mix. In discussions with Magan, who a number of you know, arranging a Rajasthan trip over Christmas and New Year. Not an ideal time but it is when bAlt has his enforced shutdown.

    Where did you visit for its geographical significance?

    Agree. The Lencois is all about the geography and it was definitely worth the effort. Dunes forever and between each beautiful pools. We flew up to Sao Luis just to go here

    Any real tangible benefits to linking two people's PNR on the same flight?

    If you are travelling in business, or have the same status, you will. If you’re talking about physically checking in at the airport then I have no idea, as I haven’t done that with Qantas domestically or internationally for a long time.

    Antarctica Cruises

    I've been following The World's current Ross Sea to Argentina expedition. We left from Hobart but this time they left from Dunedin. We didn't make it ashore at Cape Adair or to see Scott's Hut but they have managed both. It's been a whale and emperor fest for them as well. Ah well, next time :)
