    Christmas in nth Queensland

    LE is how we first booked. When we arrived they told us to call when LH has an offer as they will usually better it, plus you get Accor recognition.

    Christmas in nth Queensland

    I can see you've scrubbed it Roo, but for next time we're more votes for The Reef House. Definitely better to book direct. It's not adults only but does techinically have an adults only pool (although hasn't been policed when we've been there). Last time we were upgraded to a corner beachfront...

    Virgin Voyages coming to Oz

    I don't imagine that there is. Going on a Caribbean cruise is literally at the bottom of my cruise list.

    Virgin Voyages coming to Oz

    Other operators have lasted because they offer a formulaic cruise experience that appeals to the average Oz cruiser. I think they realised that they were a star shaped peg that just didn't fit into the (very) square hole that is the very small Oz cruise market (compared to the Caribbean or Med...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    We were on QF521 to Sydney on Friday before a fire at Kingsford Smith sent us off to Canberra. We were already late when we took off and the CSM decided to open the bar at 11:30 as he was serving the 'snack'. It stayed open for quite a while. Options were what he described as a small fruit...

    Quick trip to Iguazu Falls from Sao Paolo

    We used a private guide booked through Tours by Locals in Iguazu when we visited back in 2016. Marcello picked us up at our hotel in Puerto Iguazu and we did both sides of the falls. I detailed the trip up to Iguaza and to BA in my trip report Pictures could never do this visit justice...

    Thankyou everyone for an excellent couples of nights. It was great to meet everyone that I did. Next gathering I'll make much more of an effort to get around the room. Really loved Mel's talk. Small world. It turns out Mel trained the brother of a close friend of mine. Mark was I think the...
