    Natural wine? Anyone else a fan?

    Don't get me wrong, a lot of natural / biodynamic wine is garbage, however, some of it happily holds it's own against traditionally manufactured wines. (Like a few of those mentioned above) I'm with you though, we were supposed to hit peak oil in 1970 remember? Much of the sustainability &...

    Doubletree Melbourne

    I was put in a room directly adjacent to the laneway behind the hotel and could hear the sound of chep pallets being dropped in the small hours of the morning. I can sleep through a cyclone if I need to so not a major issue for me but might bother others. Staff did manage to get me an extra...

    DoubleTree Perth Northbridge

    Good review, I stay in the Parmelia 3 or 4 times a year and I'd be open to Northbridge if it's of a decent standard.

    LAX customs time

    I was given one of those passes when I went through LAX, made no difference. Awful airport, I fly through DFW whenever going to the US now.

    Natural wine? Anyone else a fan?

    I 2nd Ochota Barrels, I think it's a bit more expensive than previously now but that's no doubt due to the quality. The Grenache is great, I've had the Fugazi, Impeccable Disorder Pinot Noir & A Sense of Compression Grenache.

    Is Alan Joyce "worth it?"

    Probably the biggest impact on airline profitability is the crude oil market. If he can control that he's worth every cent ;^)

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Have to agree, Hilton experience in the US is far lower than Asia, Europe or Aus/NZ. I was gold when I last went through the US but in some places I wasn't even given the waters (particularly Hampton Inns and the like).

    Unreal, surely it gets to a point where it's cheaper to buy an apartment? 😜

    Ah, thanks for letting me know. What a shame.

    Hilton Canberra (proposed)

    Great news, one of my ongoing gripes is how few Hiltons there are in Australia generally.
