Thinly veiled, I know.
Maybe we need to Taekus another look at Air Astana @milenomics.bsky.social …
Did you guys see this @moredotsmorelines.com ? Cool concept, but from a quick look it seemed rather obscenely pricey. I do wonder what other really historic routes still exist, even if in piece parts (e.g. island hopper, Alaska milk run, any others?) youtu.be/ZoxIi8KZE4c?...

Sad to be leaving, but it’s been an amazing journey, our longest trip ever. #Australia, you’ve been welcoming, and just plain awesome! Can’t wait to come back!
That’s just bananas!
Obligatory salt and pepper squid from the Qantas First lounge in Sydney.
Chilling at the Australian Open watching ladies singles on the big screen and listening to classic rock. John Denver wasn’t what I thought I’d be hearing! Fun time though!
There've been way too many hippopotamus whether pigmy or otherwise in my feed lately... but rest assured, as written indelibly upon my soul, I'll never sneak up or attack from behind one.
In Aus of all places, program didn't have USA in the dropdown but knowing CAN is +1 too, I figured I was smarter but alas, the TFA code never came! the TFA code never came! (ok, lame 90's movie joke over). But totally, everything takes so much longer, tap - food, order, then tap - drinks, order. ugh
THIS plus QR code ordering. Every time we sit down to eat here in Australia, I'm pretty sure it takes me at least 5-10 minutes to figure everything out. If they have some sort of app or loyalty program, we have to break out rations for the little one just for me to figure it out.
I so miss the tulip

I instantly got excited at a mistake redemption and raced to the airline websites, but alas, there is no mistake, Boom.aero is not in fact flying... but points.yeah certainly got my heart beating!

Life is not as bad as you may think it is.
Wow, Hyatt Regency Sydney opened up what used to be the lounge for evening canapés and they pulled out all the stops, look at these prawns!
A bit snug for my last flight of the year.
I don’t get it. Wife and I have been walking throughout the day. She has 11k steps on iPhone and Oura ring. I have 6.8k on iPhone and only 4K on Oura ring. Neither Apple Watch triggered outdoor walk.
Happy Festivus!

Ok, maybe I really do enjoy the Hyatt Globalist (or all Hyatt?) hold music... its like a soft jam session, and I'm here for it.
Anyone ever feel like you're at soft rock concert when you call Hyatt?
