Qantas Makes Australia Easier and More Affordable

Frommer's Australia 2011 (Frommer's Complete)Since I’m currently there, Australia is on the brain and I’ve heard about some great Qantas specials I’d like to pass along to for those of you who are thinking of coming Down Under. 

In order for me to come to down to Australia, I had to take two planes to Los Angeles and fly from there. That’s going to change for many like me who don't live on the West Coast.  Starting in May, you can cut down your expenses and plane rides with a brand new nonstop from Dallas Fort Worth to Brisbane or Sydney. Considering DFW is a large hub (especially to American Airlines, a Qantas partner) with flights from throughout the East, South, Southwest and Midwest, it will make  it a lot easier to get to Australia.

The other piece of Qantas news I have is something you can take advantage of right away if you’d like to check out some areas that visitors often miss. Western Australia is home to the Outback, the Coral Coast, and beautiful Perth, where there is sunshine 3,000 hours a year.  And, let's not forget the wine.  Qantas Vacations is offering FREE domestic flights to the first 2,000 travelers who book trips to Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne. This means you can make a stopover to see what Western Australia has to offer without adding additional expense. Since this offer is limited, make sure you book it with Qantas Vacations as soon as possible.

I know that lady whose name starts with an “O” has been promoting this beautiful country, but if you want some realistic incentive to come visit, check out my stories over the next few weeks at Wine And Spirits Travel.  There will be lots of reports on my fun-filled Australian adventure for real people,  and this trip isn’t costing anyone  $5 million!

Cheers to the Holidays

Image
The holidays are often a time for me to try some interesting spirits, new and old. This year is no different. Rumchata options… Rumchata has been a favorite of mine since it first hit the market. I love cordials that you don’t have to get too creative with if you aren’t in the mood. I love it straight over ice, but you can mix it with just about anything. They even sell a gift box that includes shot glasses so you can measure perfectly. One of the options for Rumchata is to put it in your coffee and the company has no made that even easier with Rumchata Creamer. This is not a flavored creamer, it has the real liquor in it and it will make your coffee into a major treat. Another cordial to enjoy… I wasn’t sure what to expect from Tippy Cow Peppermint Bark , but it was a perfect mix of sweet, creamy and minty, without too much of any of those.  My friends devoured the mini bottles (great for picnics) chilled. I managed to put one aside to have with my

An Assortment of Goodies for your Inside and Out

Image
A lot of products have come in the last month or two. I’m catching up as fast as I can, but I always want to try something before I promote. When it comes to health and beauty products, that means trying a few times. As always, my policy that is I write about the good things I want to pass along. Anyone who sends products for sampling knows that it will only be written about if I like it. That goes the same for my Amazon Influencer page .  Hello, Miss Spa… I love finding good skin care that I can buy (for a reasonable price) in my local drugstore. Miss Spa sent me two products that are going to continue to be part of my beauty routine. Hydration Hookup is a “skin quenching serum.” It contains Hydraulic Acid and CoQ10. I used it on my face for two weeks and I really like the results. Though I didn’t feel it hydrating enough for my face, a serum should be followed by a moisturizer and I just made it a richer one for my dry skin. What I did see was that my skin was a

Wine, Spirits and Coffee (Together)

Image
I have never received as much coffee before as I have in the past two months. The interesting thing is that there is a spirited theme to all of it. I also had a bit of wine in the mix, as well as a few tasty surprises. Fruity deliciousness… Maison Ferrand makes Mathilde fruit liqueurs that are handcrafted with ripe fruit and French spirits. I received two bottles to try out and they were exceptional. The Mathilde Raspberry reminded me of Chambord, but it’s not quite as thick and is even more filled with raspberry flavor. I enjoyed sipping it over ice. It would be a wonderful addition to any cocktail (definitely a martini), hot chocolate, or coffee. The Mathilde Peach is delicious and reminded me more of a summer day with a lighter cocktail or mixed with club soda . I’d also love this in a frozen drink, such as a daiquiri or margarita. French wine launch… I wasn’t able to make the official tasting, but I still got to sample the launch of LGV wines . These French wines are
