I knew that Americans celebrated Halloween but the scale in which they celebrate has blown me away. On the road trip from Washington to Boston (all on back roads) we saw more pumpkins and skeletons than American flags (which is saying something!)
Had the most amazing 5 days in New York. I have always wanted to visit ever since I was a kid. The weather was perfect and it exceeded my expectations. Currently on a train to Washington DC to continue the adventures with my daughter.
Im in NY for a combined 50th/21st with my eldest daughter and I’m loving it! Not enough though to buy and especially not enough to wear one of those tee shirts!
First ever trip to New York and I chose an airbnb in Brooklyn (Brownsville). So far in my first day I did 20,000 steps just walking the local area and experiencing so much on the street. Most of it quite shocking but am so glad to experience it by not staying in Manhattan etc.
I’m in Seoul for my first visit. In a tiny and one of the most expensive (for what you get) hotels I’ve ever booked but boy they take their fire safety seriously or should I be worried? 😂 (I’m on the fifth floor)
Sorry to brag again, but yes - that is my eldest daughter. 😍
My daughter is #33 Just saying! 🥹
🇹🇭🏑 GOAL FOR THAILAND!
Thailand score a fantastic goal from a penalty corner with a well-executed finish! Great teamwork and excellent execution from Thailand! 🔥👏

After 50 years of flying (a lot) today was the first time I have ever heard the “is there a Dr on board?” Announcement!
I'm trying to book a flight with @Juneyao_air to Osaka. The google reviews were not wrong when they said the website was hard work. Entering my DOB = pressing the back space once per month. I turned 50 on Monday - you do the maths!
Barnaby the cat has been with us for three weeks now and still the dog will not be further then 6 inches away at all times. Has shed a few kg as a result!
Decided to watch my first game of soccer in years and hopefully it will be the last for a while. The arguing, flopping, stoppages, lack of goals and excess celebrations ruin the game. Hockey is a similar style of game but none of this happens which makes it a far superior sport
No room to smuggle any drugs when your suitcase is full of hockey shoes for the Thailand Women’s National Team. Thankfully most have them have tiny feet!
My daughter works part-time at a country (not latte sipping Melbourne) cafe and this was her first order this morning. Unbelievable.
