    Ricciardo gets 3 grid spot penalty for Miami!!! Hulk overtook him as he was shunted off by Stroll, so on the next restart he went back in front of Hulk but wasnt allowed to or something?? It would have been a 10 second penalty but he couldnt serve it as he was retired.

    Yes he wasnt gonna stay in 7th, but Stroll was the problem there playing dodgem cars. Some appeals etc going on according to Ted so things may change in the lower places. Cant believe the crowd loves Lewis, havent they heard he hasnt won a race for a couple of years? Zhou was popular as well as...

    AIRTRAIN Brisbane Go Card 😡

    GO Card is being phased out now according to paper due to being too old. New TRANSLINK card will do similar things but also CC tap is on ferries now, most trains but not buses, so will still be using GO Card for a while.

    Do you leave a tip for hotel housekeeping?

    Usually in the US if a multi day stay...or I might wanna come back to the same hotel again. I leave a couple of dollar notes under the remote, I find they leave random coins alone. I always tip waiters/restaurant, taxi/drivers/guides and concierge IF I use them. Never tipped a bellboy, but...

    The view from my "office"

    Look at my Trip Report here https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/ill-explane-my-north-american-trip.112014/ I was unimpressed by Pikes Place...or any... markets. The bubble gum wall there was my highlight of the place, but it is on every To Do list in Seattle and it was...

    SYD Named 5th Most Luxurious Airport in the world

    What gets me wondering is how many women forget their underwear before flying on a plane judging by the numbers of Victoria's Secret shops in airports....

    Viva Las Vegas, baby, yeah!

    There are many different helicopter tours, the most popular basic one doesnt do the North Rim but just flies from Vegas and lands in the Western Indian Controlled area for a picnic. No tourist landings in the main National Parks are allowed. Sunset is the most popular time to do these, you leave...

    Japanuary 2024 - the trip that nearly wasn't

    Did the Toyota Factory Tour in Toyota-Shi years ago...I can look it up in my diaries if you like. From memory it was another suburban train and then a bus to the factory, took another hour or so from Nagoya. It was back in 2010 or so when the Prius was big news. I remember the girl chasing me...

    Japanuary 2024 - the trip that nearly wasn't

    Good report. I dont ski much but have been to Niseko a few times and just hire equipment there to avoid all this drama. I have friends there who get me a locals discount. I get what you mean about all the Aussies over there but. About 18 years ago (pre Bookface and InstaTok) I went to the...

    Heavy duty padlocks in cabin baggage

    A friend bought 6 (cleaned) but jagged metal pieces of a crashed WW2 aircraft to Australia from the UK, in his hand luggage, all bubble wrapped etc. to give to the relatives of the dead veterans. He had to show customs/security obviously, so had some tape to re wrap them. Got in to Aust, flew to...

    A bit of humour

    The Queensland version of that joke is insert VB for xx_X... Though I have had tourists ask me "Why are there so many Sex shops around here"? Noticing my baffled look they say "There is xx_X everywhere..." I reply, "How do you spell SEX in your country?" before explaining about the beer and...

    CNS closed for TC Jasper

    Just an update... The road over the Daintree ferry opened last week to self drive tourists but only as far as Thorntons Beach. There is a rough dirt track to Cape Trib but it is not accessible to the general public yet, if you are on a tour bus you may get through. But it closes after a heavy...

    Lets talk about the 787 windows

    Hate them...avoid 787 if I can...yes I realise my days of control of the window are numbered. I prefer window seats and have many pix from them. If we cant look out of the windows then just do away with them altogether. We can then book WALL, MIDDLE or Aisle. Have had some locked some not...
