    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Indeed Taswegians don’t do heat very well. I remember one year working in Latrobe when the Advocate had a headline 3 day heatwave predicted. It was going to be 26. 27 and 28C. Not even a hot spring day. The first day I worked in Tassie I arrived at the hospital with my jumper on to be greeted by...

Chance of finding a GP in Double Bay on a Sunday or indeed...

    What is the best airport name you have come across

    The airport with the least known alternate name that I have used is the Howard’s Plains airport. Not that far from the OP. But I am with @TheRealTMA that the best arrival experience is stepping out of Finnair into HEL.

    Little things I like

    Yesterday arrived to lovely Sydney weather with rain and wind. So no public transport this time. We are travelling HCO this time so straight down to taxi. Got an older UK fellow who knew the eastern suburbs roads really well so a quick trip to the IC Double Bay. The meter read $56.20. Asked if...

    Chilling out in Bangkok.

    I often sweat profusely so am used to being pulled up at the new scanners usually my arm pits but today my neck. Presumably it increases the density of the fabric.

    Chilling out in Bangkok.

    Today starts our annual Christmas trip. Every second year we take the grandkids on a Christmas trip. Fortunately last year it was Japan. On even years we spend a month in Bangkok to chill out. Best time to visit as lower temperatures and very little rain. I can get out on some walks in the...

    General Cruise Discussion

    I looked at the smart traveller site and it appears you may not need a visa if transiting. It suggests you contact the Embassy and ask what happens if you miss your connection. Travel Australian citizens must obtain a visa before travelling. If your travel...

    How does Marriott treat you as an elite?

    Have stayed at the JW about 18months ago. got upgraded to one of their vacation apartments. better than a suite in area. It was nice but it does tend to be expensive.

    The view from my "office"

    Paid a visit to SCU Public Hospital today. Very impressive public areas. Several take away places. Saw 3 coffee places on the ground floor. And built around a very nice courtyard with tables and chairs scattered throughout.

    The Dark side of Japan Tourism.

    I really don't think that there is anything really wrong with the verdict and sentence. She had a 3 day stopover in Laos on the way to Japan and picked up a bag from an associate of the fellow she had thought was going to marry. she apparently told Immigration she had come to Japan on business...
