Flights ahoy!

We've got another series of flights scheduled in the weeks ahead.  This time we're travelling for pleasure rather than business.  First up we're off to Cairns and Far North Queensland for an Easter break.  I'm then heading off to visit family for an extended four-day ANZAC weekend.

We've taken advantage of a complimentary night's vacation with Accor Hotels to book ourselves into a superb venue at Palm Cove before heading into to the Daintree for a luxury bush retreat.  We'll then finish our weekend with a couple of nights at Garry's brother's new house near Mosman.

My New Zealand vacation includes a 24-hour stopover in Christchurch before heading north to see my Mum and catch up on my brother's ambitious building project, aka, his new home. I'm keen to see how Christchurch has changed since the devastating 2011 Earthquake and see first hand how the city is recovering from last month's terrorist attack on two of its inner-city mosques.

These won't be our last leisure outings for the year.  Last week we took advantage of some special offers to secure a week's vacation at the Shangri-la Resort in Fiji in early-September.  We're hoping to repeat the wonderful experience we had in Fiji around the same time last year.  Garry did a superb job of uncovering a hotel deal and flights discounted almost 50%.
