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!

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!

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!

Milano Centrale station

Train strike in Milan. So much for using mass transit. Thankfully taxis have a flat rate anywhere in the city… unfortunately it’s 114 Euro. But Uber was charging north of 150 euro.

Flying economy BCN-MXP (I know, perish the thought) and Singapore Airlines is kind enough to even offer hot towels (actual real towels) prior to departure. It’s the small things. #travel

Piazza del Bastione; where incidentally there is a gelateria that serves prosecco. Both are wonderful, and some sort of espresso mix between smoothie and soft serve.

Kindve crazy.

NK1300 and AF1 had a bit of an "encounter" today-- ATC was reportedly yelling at NK1300 to get their attention to get them to alter course. Not sure it was a "close call" at all, but since AF1 involved.. I tend to believe the yelling part. Thanks to @petchmo.bsky.social for his help in..
