2020 look-ahead

As I have just completed my 2019 review, I am realizing how far behind I am in my collecting of memories of my travels last year, so this year I will really try to speed up the posting.

The Shells Spa and Resort, Phu Quoc

Although I have been able to complete some of the posts I was planning to, I see that the job ahead of me is quite tremendous, as I am just starting to realize how much time it takes to just make one post. Good thing is that I don’t have a lot of travels planned in the coming month, so I should have some time to try to get up to speed…

2019 in Review

Sunset in Phu Quoc

As the last sunset of 2019 has taken place, it is time to summarize the last years adventures.

Review: The Parisian Hotel, Macau

As I wrote about in my 1 night in Macau post a few weeks back, I have joined and earned quite a lot of points with Sands Rewards, and this has given me the possibility of free stays with the Sands Group in Macau. I therefore grabbed the chance for the free stay, and called the reservation hotline as soon as I was back from Macau, and asked for a night stay at the Venetian hotel. Unfortunately that was not available, but they offered me a choice between The Parisian of the Sheraon instead, and I then choose The Parisian, as it looks really impressive from the outside.

Stockholm – Oslo with SAS business class

This will be the shortest installment of this tripreport, as there really wasn’t much to report from this flight 🙂

SE-REU, our Boeing 737-7 for the day.

We had arrived in Stockholm on time with Qatar Airways, and quickly passed through immigration before we proceeded to the departure gate. We only had 90 minutes in transit, so we had a quick snack to eat, and then boarding was about to begin.
