I’m pretty focused on earning my points – through flights, my credit card, my shopping…and I also get points from some service providers when I pay my bills on time.

It may seem like a long way from Sydney, Australia to Disneyland California but I’m here to tell you it can be a lovely, seamless journey from door to door.

Emmie has been a Qantas Frequent Flyer member since she was two. It’s so worth it – kids earn points and status credits, meaning they can go up the tiers along with you.

These tevas are from 1997!  Yep…almost 20 years ago…they do look a little worn, and I may need to glue a piece together, but they’re in good working order.

I’m not really sure what happened…one minute I was looking at possible destinations for the July school holidays and then all of a sudden I’d booked flights to Kota Kinabalu and was planning two weeks in Borneo in early June.

Have you ever had a holiday where it’s just…right? That’s Lady Elliot. She is not out to impress. She is not out to show off. She is there and she is magical.

A 10 minute bumboat ride from Changi Point Ferry Terminal, Palau Ubin is a glimpse of jungle Singapore before it became the shiny, sophisticated city we know and love. 

Lazy afternoons at Salmon Haul. I rush from work to pick Emmie up from school and we choose – beach or bay? Salmon Haul is still secret, like Blackwoods was back in the day before the crowds discovered it. It’s beautiful, quite, blue and clean. Summer afternoons – you just have to get outside.
