    NZ South Island for a special occasion

    Lovely report Justin. It was one of the best flights of our lives. Spectacular doesn't come close. So glad you enjoyed it. Don't worry about whinging about the prices. Every time we go we do the same. They seem to increase exponentially every time we go. 25 years ago I thought it was so cheap...

    Brisbane Weather Discussion

    It came straight down the river yesterday afternoon and we were pummled. Rain and hail hit the top of our 2.7m sliders, 3m in from the glass balcony railing. Pretty scary for a while. The door tracks couldn't cope with the volume of water and it came bubbling in. Luckily we have a vinyl plank...

    I forgot to mention that they were wandering around the MEL J lounge with champagne, yep, the real stuff, late on Sunday arvo. NM and I managed a couple of glasses before jetting off on our delayed A220 flight home.

    And another new salad. Looks like the tiny galley on the A220 is becoming more familiar. Great service from our CSM Cade. Descending into some stormy Brisbane weather with a beautiful sunset off to the west

    An excellent walking tour with our terrific guide Laura. Thanks again for organising this Matt and Wilson I think this bloke should be famous for being related to my favourite martian (darn auto correct had made what I originally posted make zero sense) Avoid the mushrooms If you know you...

    Fully expecting to be able to get a drink upstairs Malcolm (@RooFlyer) and myself headed up to 25, but the lift was locked off. If I'd known I would have made an effort to say goodbye, and especially to you Matt. We went wandering, with our SQ umbrellas, in search of a nearby bar, with zero...

    It might only be 20 but gee it's a little humid. Looking forward to the MCG tour after a lovely walk along the Yarra. Rowing regatta and Brazilian Festival seen along the way.

    We literally walked out and into Skybus. Unless I'm going switchover dear, I didn't hear the power bank warning. I didn't realise until @NM told me that the Indigo used to be the Holiday Inn. It was one of my work hotels back in the day. It's one bijou room

    The bus from BNE is full to busting but @NM and I are being looked after nicely up the front. The new beef salad was quite nice. Nice enough that there is none left.
