The first part of my flight was terrible. I flew Virgin to Brisy. The plane was small and cramped and there was no entertainment and the food was poor. It was like cut price airline but at 3 times the price. The flight to the US was soo much different. It was a bigger plane and we had heaps of room to spread out, tv in every seat and proper food. It was a long flight but ok under the circumstances. LAX airport is a joke. The line for customs control was over an h...

Well the Antanov 225 was coming in today so we decided we couldn't miss it. It is the biggest plane in the world and has never been to Australia before. We have had the smaller 124 has been here plenty of times but not this one. It was due in at 10am and they were expecting 50,000 people to see it.

A few of us went to the Stockyard Gully caves for the long weekend. Some went Sat but I went Sunday. The cave was easy enough to find, even though it is 30 years since I have been there.

There are chicken tracks around everything and the obstacles range from mild to extreme. This means you don't have to do anything you don't want to but also you can really try out your car. This particular day it rained all day and it surprised me but some of the holes filled up with w...

This is just a short trip to see the King and Queen of Siam get married. It has given me the opportunity to use some technology that I haven't used before. I have my phone this time and while I have used it I probably wouldn't bother again. My fingers arn't dextrose enough and the letters are too small. I also have my I pad and while it is OK for typing this (except for the predictive text) there is no USB port so I have no way of putting photos until I get home ...
