Travel Tuesday photo: Fireworks Over Sydney Opera House
Fireworks over the Sydney Opera House on a random October night in 2015. Happy New Year’s Eve Eve!
I don’t usually post the same subject matter in the same year much less the same month but this seemed like a good photo to round out the year.

Travel Tuesday photo: New Zealand Moa Statue
A statue of a New Zealand Moa in Queenstown, New Zealand. Now extinct, it was the world’s tallest bird at 3 meters. A single egg had the same capacity as 90 chicken eggs!

Lodging Review: Brisbane Marriott
Flight Review: Qantas B787-9 Brisbane – Los Angeles
After spending a few days on the Sunshine Coast we needed an overnight stay in Brisbane so that we didn’t have to leave Mooloolaba at a very early hour to be at the airport by 8 AM. I had an unused Marriott category 1-5 certificate from my credit card (either the Chase Marriott Visa or the Amex Marriott Bonvoy) so we booked the Marriott Brisbane. We knew that with three adults in a room with only two beds someone was going to be uncomfortable but since it was for only one night we weren’t concerned.
The hotel does not have a large footprint but is about 25 stories high. In front there’s only a place to drop off/pick up passengers so if you need to park, circle behind the building where the valet can help you.
