Singapore - don't forget, if you've got time there, to pop up to the Ce La Vi skybar on top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel to have a drink (credited off the cover charge to get up there) and watch the hotel guests swimming alongside in the infinity pool on the 57th floor!
A great spot at dusk so you can see the lights at Gardens by the Bay come on, and see the laser light show on the other side at Clarke Quay.

An iconic rooftop night bar on the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands. Grab a drink at our award-winning SkyBar with panoramic views of Singapore’s skyline.

Venice - access is changing. Luckily as most of my clients stay overnight they won't be effected.

Day-trippers to Venice who fail to pay 5 euros to enter the lagoon city's historic centre during a time-limited pilot program.

Not sure I'll commit all these facts to memory before I get there... but I'll certainly be on the lookout for the oldest bookshop on the world which apparently is in Lisbon. 🙂

Just sent out my latest e-newsletter and received this note from clients:
"Your spiel has revitalized my appetite for travel. We have been thinking about the Baltics cruises and Asian cruises for 2025. It's early days. Thanks for keeping in touch."

Love it! You can read the newsletter here, or if you'd like your own personalised copy drop me a DM and I'll add you to the database. :)

It's time to go electronic... download the app now so you're ready. (I filled mine in whilst in the check-in queue recently - easy-as!) :)

The paper Passenger Arrival Card is being phased out at the end of March.

Going forward everyone entering New Zealand needs to submit a New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD) online before departure.

Travellers who have been unable to complete it digitally will be able to complete a paper version on arrival.

Air NZ likely started the trend for more-interesting safety demo videos. This is Air India's latest.

A quick jaunt to la la land... 3 days at theme parks. Totally shattered now. Gotta do it though - some has to take one for the team! 🤣

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day ❤️

Some days, it is perhaps better to not look out the window when your airline announces there will be a 20-minute delay in takeoff due to staff attending to correct a minor technical issue. :)

Happy Waitangi Day!

Or glamping.. I'd definitely try that!

This is a cool clock! Have you seen it at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam?

It appears as if a man is standing behind this giant airport clock, painting the hands in real time.

Adults-only flights... does this appeal to you? Could be a thing of the future.

Stats you didn't know you needed to know from Air New Zealand. Who'd have thought there'd be that many lollies or that many animals transported, for that matter!!
