I took this picture of the hotel we were staying at in Perth two years ago. I found the lighting and lines interesting.

Very nice shot. Ahh those were the days. International travel. Actually, any travel anywhere. Would be nice again. Had a quick squiz at the Qantas website for fares to LHR and DFW and they are extortionate at the moment. Can't blame Qantas I suppose as there aren't many planes available for use and demand will be strong initially once we get the green light to venture overseas again.

I spoke to a Cathay PAcific pilot recently concerning the planes in mothballs at Alice Springs and he said it takes an airline at least 6 weeks to get an aircraft airworthy.

I was chatting with a contact on Twitter who told me that he was just approved - yesterday - for travel to and from France, with a Saturday departure confirmed. Two week trip to Paris, not (to my knowledge) privileged etc. Approval granted in minutes, yesterday. I wished hom a Moet Voyage.

I hope things get better when more people are vaccinated. We've been very lucky in Queenslad. More luck than good management. By the way traveling within Australia is becoming very popular with excursion tours being sold within hours of being advertised e.g. The Ghant and the Indian Pacific tours.
