Here we go

Bon voyage Melbourne. Your winter has driven us away again. Our trip will take us to Europe for the next 7+ weeks.

Always sad to leave family, friends and a pet behind but our travel itch needs scratching.

First drama is no Bacardi in the Qantas club! Sharon went back in time and had a Kaluha and soda!

Off to Doha at 9pm flying Qatar who were recently voted runner up for the world’s best airline.

Our flight was 14.5 hours and we landed in Doha at 4:45am and it was already 35 degrees. Qatar lived up to their promise. Food and media selection was great, and the seats seemed to have more legroom than normal.

We both managed to get some decent sleep. The Doha airport is massive and impressive. My life membership with Qantas allowed us to use the executive lounge so we both had a shower and revitalized for the next leg.

The airport is a Mecca of shops. Our fav was the M&M display. No, you get in the bowl!

We fly at 8:10am to Amsterdam. This flight will only be 7 hours!Read more
