    AFF Gathering #17 in BNE on 18 - 20 October 2024

    I'm a platinum. Hopefully I can organise a lie flat for the <10 minute bus ride into town. My first event. I'll see if I can talk bAlt into coming along but won't be holding my breath. I can also potentially be a helper and will check my roster to make sure I'm not on call.

    The not needed status run to AKL

    We had arranged and paid for a 2pm late check out (why when we had to leave before 1?) so after eating a yoghurt each bought at the Woolies Metro next door, and the cakes bought the previous morning, we headed off for the art gallery and another walk. The weather had changed to what we'd...

    The not needed status run to AKL

    As I've mentioned, we pre-booked dinner with not knowing how busy the city was. Sunday night was Cinco de Mayo and we love our Cinco de Mayo so booked Mexican of course. I reckon we could have chosen better as Mexican Cafe was just ok Mexican Cafe We'd booked a week out and found ourselves sat...

    The not needed status run to AKL

    We'd planned to walk down to the ferry terminal but as we came out of the winery the bus went past on it's way to Mudhouse so we waited for it to come back The ferry was boarding as we pulled up and they closed the barrier pretty much behind us. It was a beautiful ride back with a...

    The not needed status run to AKL

    As we were leaving we asked a couple we'd seen walking towards Heke if it had been opne. The tasting room was, just not the restaurant. So we went back and had a couple of the best beers we've ever had, a lager and a stout. The HEKE | Restaurant, Brewery and Distillery No pictures again. Back...

    The not needed status run to AKL

    We planned to make the most of the cluster of breweries/wineries between stops nine and 10. Agree! First stop, Heke, but the signs outside indictaed that it was open, and closed. We decided to err on the side of caution and turned back to Tantalus Estate. On the walk back we started talking...

    The not needed status run to AKL

    Pulled the curtains back on Sunday morning and it was blue sky forever. Fantastic, as we were off to Waiheke. A takeaway from the night before that we really shouldn't have bought, or consumed, but it was delicious! The hotel has no restaurant but there is a cafe next door (Tuck Stop) that...

    The not needed status run to AKL

    Only there for two nights and with no idea how busy AKL is so we'd booked dinner for both nights. Before that we went for a wander around the Viaduct and stopped for a few drinks at one of the bars by the waterfront. A really gorgeous, still night First night was at Borocay Gardens Boracay...

    The not needed status run to AKL

    Neither of us have any idea why we booked this weekend away to AKL. Maybe the J fares to AKL were super cheap. Maybe at the time we booked I hadn't enough to requal. No idea. Not even DSC. Doesn't matter, we had a fab weekend in the city of sails. The airport was super busy. First time that...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF119 BNE-AKL 04/05 I'll actually start with the lounge offering. There was a special on offer that was being served from the small kitchen up on the mezzanine. It was salmon and poached egg served on a potato rosti and was very teasty. Egg was perfectly semi-runny. The buffet had a lot more...

    Japanuary 2024 - the trip that nearly wasn't

    Loved the trip report Seat0B and the follow-up with one exception - what they serve at Starbucks anywhere is not coffee, even if it's better than whatever it is that they boil and burn here ;)

    Adding flight segment - Diff availability for new and existing booking

    We had the same issue earlier this year after QF changed flights to from JNB. We wanted a longer connection than what we were rebooked on. Called and Fiji answered and I was told they couldn't see the flight except as a new booking and that I could cancel and rebook. I said no we won't. I...

    Grammar Discussions

    I work for a large telecommunications that has had a problem with the word premises ever since nbn became a thing. I lost count of the number of times I had to correct documents and communications that had Fibre to the Premise. It still happens. Qantas is at it now. It now seems that the new...

    Latest Qantas news letter has quite the holiday available

    I hadn't even noticed the from. Considering that I live in Brisbane, even weirder.

    Latest Qantas news letter has quite the holiday available

    Not really sure how you fly to one and stay at the other. Teleportation maybe?

    What are you reading right now?

    Getting back into reading to try and calm my ever anxious brain. Just about to start The Bookbinder of Jericho. If it's even half as good as The Dictionary of Lost Words it will be excellent.
