The Maria Island Walk & Tassie Adventure – Tasmania, Australia

Posted on Mar 31, 2017 in Journeys

14 days, 11 beds, 2 sleeping bags,

Day 1: Newcastle – Hobart via Melbourne (3hr flying, 4hr waiting!)

It’s been a while since I’ve flown Jetstar but I’m pleased to report that today’s service was seamless on both flights – smooth check in, comfortable seating (row 1 never disappoints) and no delays.  The self-check in and bag drop service has definitely improved since the last time I used it.  Our wait at Melbourne airport was painless with plenty of seating available and food options to please even the pickiest palates.

North Island Journey – New Zealand

Posted on Mar 4, 2017 in Journeys

Beautiful people, amazing food & hours of stunning scenery.

10 days, 9 beds, 3 apartments, 1 cabin, 2 motels, 1 villa, 2 flights (1 shower in the sky!) & 1,810km driving (in 23 hours, 50 minutes)

Day 1: Sydney – Auckland (3hr, 30min)

Yes, we flew first class (thank you Frequent Flyer points!) and yes, I probably would pay real dollars for it because Emirates rocks!  Comfort, service, food/wine offerings – all are outstanding.  And no, I didn’t use the shower… on the first flight!
