Birkenhead Point is in the opposite direction to the airport and is not easy to get to by public transport. You'd be better to store your bags at Circular Quay / Rocks (there are a few options available there) then use the light rail to go to the Queen Victoria Building stop which is closest to the main shops in Sydney. Then go back to Circular Quay, pick up your bags, and get the train to the airport.

Of course! Where pizza originated. That is the entrance to Da Michele, one of the oldest pizzeria in Naples, and ranked as one of the best in the world - it was indeed excellent. People queue for an hour or more to get in at peak times. The menu is very simple, just two choices, both very traditional.

It was amazing the first year Majestic came to Australia. Very authentic Chinese, with dishes from all around China not just Cantonese.

Not Pisa either. Head south.

Not Venice.

Not Rome but, yes, they are waiting for a table to have pizza.

Right country, wrong city. Not a sandwich.

They have great sales though, especially the warehouse sales.

Where is this and what are these people queuing up for?

We did that in 2019. It was great fun.

Usually the waiters do but sometimes they forget when taking the order but then mention it when serving the drink.

By the way "Outbid" doesn't necessarily mean you really have been out-bid. I got the Outbid email for our upcoming Coral world cruise. I just ignored it as we weren't prepared to raise our bid. Four days later I got the new cabin.

Marks and Spencer have really cool reversable belts - black one side, brown the other. Very useful for travel.

Hmmmm! Two mentions of "cards" versus one of "medallion" and you decide that it's a medallion discussion. 🙄 Oh! Should we have mentioned those weird little slug things that Virgin uses? Are they classed as "cards" or "medallions". They open doors but don't seem to do much else.

Make that two backpacks! The stuff I had earmarked for one backpack didn't fit!

Our two main suitcases each have a super-lightweight collapsable laundry hamper, a very lightweight shoe hanger, and a ultra-lightweight day pack permanently in them. That way we never forget those things even when we just take one of the suitcases.

Unfortunately not all ladies clothing has pockets. 🙁

Yes, the fares are shown in AUD for me. It could be related to that although Princess' country-dependent programming is a bit hit and miss at times (I'm another ex-software developer from way back),

It's showing for me on Chrome, on both my laptop and phone. I looked at Australian region cruises and Caribbean cruises so it's not region dependant.

Shoes and my feet don't get on very well! Even shoes that are well broken in sometimes give me problems so I like to have plenty of choice, especially in evening sandals, so I can alternate what I'm wearing from day to day.

They are about the size of an Apple Airtag so anything designed to hold Airtags will fit the medallions. You do get a free lanyard with them but some people prefer to get something they can clip on a belt loop or bag, or something they can wear on their wrist.

That's a shame.

Isn't it just!

Absolutely!
