    Europe Family trip - suggestions please

    Having been to Europe about 6 times so far, for about 4 weeks each time....my #1 suggestion is at LEAST 3-4 days in each place. That is basically the bare minimum you need to really get a feel for the place without feeling run off your feet. Also any day you are travelling from one place to...

    Australian Open Tennis 2015

    Seeing Sam play....she had the physical ability but I think it's the psychological element of the game where she is vulnerable (of course...it's not at all easy!). I feel a bit sorry for Lleyton now, but back in the day he was really unlikeable - I think he was a bit arrogant.

    Qantas extends Domestic meal Window times

    Re: Qantas extends meal times Got nothing against people eating but I meal times are frustrating as the food is either terrible, or it's right when you need to go and use the bathroom....but the aisles are blocked!

    Soap Thieves - don't feel guilty ........

    I always take something....but more often than not the shampoo/conditioner is shyte so I avoid. I love the little travel toothbrush packs though / shower caps etc. So many hotels have downgrades their amenity kits though to save costs. :(

    Saving a few dollars getting to Syd airport...

    Honestly, I don't think the train is THAT expensive....though I take your point. Compared to taking a cab, the train is still much cheaper. And pretty much on par with the Melbourne Sky Bus which is CBD-Airport.

    Australian Open Tennis 2015

    I went on Tuesday. It was actually my first time EVER attending and I was surprised how much I loved it. We saw 3 games....including Djokovic and Stosur. Really amazing to see the pros up close. Atmosphere so different to the TV and the psychological element of the game is right in front of you...

    Lonely Planet guides - do you use them?

    They are one of the resources I consult pre-trip....but I don't love them like some do. Unless it's an online version, it's too bulky to carry around so it stays behind. Also a lot of the time the info is already out of date - even if you get the most recent version....it's just not dynamic...

    ANZ has launched its Black Rewards card

    I seriously don't think ANZ Black Rewards is worth it for frequent flyer points. Much better alternatives available. However, if you like DJs vouchers...they are very easy to earn!

    Qantas extends Domestic meal Window times

    Re: Qantas extends meal times Hmmmm will be interesting to see how this plays out in practice. Personally, I hate meal times on planes when travelling economy due to the aisles being clogged etc. I'd prefer it if they just had a substantial snack option available that could be requested any time.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    I think it's going to hit 70 cents by year end. I'm buying whatever I can at 80 cents, then quitting all my US $ shopping and ending my US mailbox subscription....plus lately I've had so many online shopping issues I'm over it.
