Hmmm. YANK might be the Anna Creek homestead I think, not the airstrip at the Painted Hills - but I'm happy to claim it 😂

My first thought was HEH - Heho in Myanmar, but that at least had a small building. Closer to home, YWMC - William Creek. We took off on the old runway, which meant taxiing across the main road. We landed at the air strip at the Painted Hills on Anna Creek Station, but I'm guessing that doesn't...

Yes, we used credit card for most things (also Mastercard), but we found some things still needed cash and we didn't have a lot of USD. It should be noted the credit card rate is not as good as getting cash. For comparison, if changing USD to pesos the rates were the best - but you also need...

As an FYI for others - an alternative in Argentina is to Western Union yourself money. There are offices everywhere, it's pretty much instantaneous (we did it on the app as we were standing in the office), very easy, and you will get the "blue" rate, so around twice as many pesos, doing it this...

Totally missed this until right now - and I'm in Adelaide, which seems to be getting rarer and rarer even though I live here! Enjoy your night everyone - and if there's a last minute cancellation I'm available to fill the seat :)

I'll try to come along too.

Put me down as platinum too :-)

Yes, back before then. Only away six weeks this time. Leaving again on the 21st August for almost another month. Means Simon can't really take a day off on the 18th. I might be tempted to come alone though. :-)

You keep planning these just minutes before we leave the country! (Okay, a day or two!) Hubby is AGAIN working. Tempting though....

Clearly I am one of the few that actually does know Buzz's real name :-) I will add my voice to the crowd in thanking the organisers. I enjoyed meeting a few new people and of course catching up with others I have met in the past!

Yep, blowing a gale for my morning beach walk today! At least it wasn't raining.

You guys must have had more wine then me :-) I'm a lightweight drinker and my head was fine this morning! Thanks for the great night all.

I was in Myanmar for a two weeks in February this year. I'm not sure if I can post a direct link here, but there is a whole post on my time in Myanmar on my blog which is linked in the signature below. We were on a year long trip so travelling mostly on a budget, although our accommodation in...

Thanks VPS - here it is. I only make a couple of dollars per booking, but really appreciate every cent. <removed link> (Affiliate is related to my blog. Link is in signature below)

Yes. Last time I went on a wine tour I stood there and Googled each of the wines I was interested in to see the price at Dan Murphy's. Some were a lot cheaper. If you do want to book through sites like Booking.com but don't want to give all the commission to the overseas company, find an...

I didn't ever have an issue with my daughters (and never really thought about it to be honest), but I guess to be safe always carry a copy of the birth certificate.

We had an issue where we were already staying in a hotel (in Stockholm) and needed an extra night of accommodation. I looked on Booking.com where we had originally booked and the price for the next night was about 20% higher than what we had originally paid, so we went to talk to the front desk...

I can bring one too. There is probably someone else with a third voucher - Buzz?

Yes, I will be there, but no +1

Just received a text from Buzz :-) I think I'm in, just waiting for hubby to get home from work to confirm whether he can go or not, although I suspect he will be working that night.
