Long time no see ?
Hello travellers. Sorry I haven't been in communication lately, but have been a bit busy.
Got married !
I spent a large amount of time in January and February organising to get married, and then another six weeks in February and March on a honeymoon in South America. You will see the benefits of that trip in a slew of flight, lounge and hotel reviews over the coming weeks.
I discover hiking
You will also get some reflections - complete with muddied bum - on hiking and nature observation in Peru and Ecuador - from the Sacred Valley to the Cloud Forrest; from howler monkeys to hummingbirds.
Qantas Platinum is only 20 points away
I am currently within 20 points of reaching Qantas Platinum. In fact, by the end of this week, I should be there. This will be my first time at that status - so I am looking forward to enjoying the perks.
Catch up on last weeks posts below. Until next week . . .
Happy Travels,
