A better title might be would you let your daughter visit Manila. Mr is off to Manila with work for six weeks later this year. Not a huge amount of time apart but I suggested I meet him in Singapore for a weekend. My Dad asked why not Manila? My stereotype of Manila is that it's unsafe...

We're about to book a cruise. We've been on a three night cruise where we had an inside cabin. It was great however we're looking at cruises that are over two weeks. They have a number of days in a row at sea. I've been told not to worry about an outside cabin which just has a...

Mr and I are looking at a cruise from Honolulu - Sydney later this year for our honeymoon. I went to our local Cruise About to ask questions. The travel agent was only interested in quoting the Celebrity Solstice and barely talked about the Royal Caribbean ships. I may have opened up the Royal...

Flying on an inuagural flight is on my to do list. With Hawaiian commencing flights out of BNE an idea has been forming. I could fly from BNE on Wednesday 28 November and depart HNL on Saturday 1 December. Their next flight to BNE departs on Tuesday 4 December. Sure , I could fly home...

Emergency Landing I remember living in the Solomon Islands in 2009 and the people being proud they were getting their own plane and no more code sharing with Our Airline. I love it how the Solomon Star weren't sure on passenger numbers

Plane carrying First Lady got too close to Military C-17 I couldn't see any threads on this. Love the use of the word 'got' in a heading. I have memories of a high school teacher who hated the word.

In June 2010 I went to the USA and Canadia. I had a credit with Qantas which I wanted to use before an O/S work trip in August. I booked a return Sydney - NYC flight with the initial plan being NYC and an adult summer camp in Maine. The camp was for runners and knitters. I'm a runner and a...

Mum and I are at the Stamford Sydney Airport with a fantantic view of the airport. We've seen some airport fire trucks get activated and some emergency services hurrying to the airport. One airport fire turck came flashing lights to the corner near our hotel but quickly bugged out. Planes...

My road trip to Brisbane finished today (yes, a few days too late for the get together) and the friend we are staying with has a copy of the November 2010 Women's Health Magazine. Page 139 talks about signing up for airline emails to be notified of sales. It goes on to say...... Even better...

Mum has decided that she and Dad require a holiday before their first grandchild is born in December (not me, I'll be an Aunty :D). Mum collected Fiji brochures thinking that would be a nice relaxing holiday. She suggested to Dad that they take a holiday. Dad suggested camping in some random...

Flicking through the entertainment pages of my Qantas inflight magazine I noticed someone missing - Ita Buttrose. In her place was Alan Kohler. I've just looked at the Qantas website and the Talking Business transcripts show that in July Ita was the host but the August host is Alan. Anyone...

When I flew from Sydney to the USA I OCLI'd even though I didn't have a printer which meant alot more work for the check-in man (he had to offload me then onload me). Having learnt my lesson I didn't bother with it for my flight home. I get to the airport and the check-in woman asked me why I...
