Last chance!
This is your last chance to try and win a teddy tracker from the Richmond Sausages promotion
The closing date is 16/2/16, so keep looking at those packages of sausages for a winning number
Travel review: Hertz
When we travel, dad and I often need to drive. In fact, some holidays require driving to fully experience that country, like the wide roads of the USA
Car rental counters are never great fun. Especially after a long flight. The staff seem to take forever to process each customer with a laborious process to allocate a car
There are cheaper rental companies than Hertz but dad found out that you could get Gold member status after making just 3 rentals. So, we went with Hertz and have stayed with them over the years Continue reading
Got your teddy bear tracker yet?
Last couple of weeks to get your teddy tracker
Look for the promotional packs of Richmond sausages and follow the instructions to see if you’ve won a teddy tracker. Good luck!
It’s arrived!
A few weeks ago, I shared a Richmond Sausages advert on here. Here’s another advert in that same series
Dad and ‘future mom’ managed to find a packet of Richmond Sausages with a Teddy tracker prize and it has arrived. The offer closes on 16/2/16, so if you want one for your beloved teddy, you still have a couple of weeks to keep searching
Dad’s review of Cutter & Squidge, Soho, London
Being Malaysian, dad has more of a savoury tooth than a sweet tooth but he does make the odd exception. Cutter & Squidge make fabulous looking cake and desserts, the sort of visual eye candy you only see in food magazines. So, did the eating live up to the visual promise? Find out what dad thought of Cutter & Squidge here
Travel review: America – a land of surprises
Over all the last decade, dad and I have travelled extensively in the USA. Once you’ve worked your way through the laborious visa application process, they are generous in giving a 10 year multiple entry visa as standard
The USA is a land of many faces, both in the people and the landscape. Having seen the variety of natural beauty available in their own country, dad and I aren’t surprised that so few Americans have a passport because they can see so many aspects of the Earth’s wonders right home, from the icy glaciers of Alaska to the white beaches of Florida, from the arid desert of Death Valley to the forests of soaring redwoods in Northern California Continue reading
Travel review: Virgin Atlantic Airways
Virgin Atlantic is my and dad’s trans-Atlantic airline of choice. Dad has the Virgin Atlantic credit card, so he collects miles for his purchases. If he spends enough in a year, he gets extra rewards like a free companion flight (yay for me!)
These miles can be used to get reductions in fares (only 2000 miles required for this) as well to get upgrades in class or even for ‘free’ flights. I’ve put parentheses around the word free because you still have to pay the taxes, which is about half the cost of the ticket. It is also very important to realise that there are limited numbers of reduced / upgradeable / free seats on any individual flight, so it’s important to book these seats early Continue reading
Why we love to travel
Dad and I have learned to love to travel over the years. As we’ve grown older and wiser, we have found that rather than accumulate things, we would rather have experiences these days and this is now our motto
Dad and I hail from Malaysia and we got used to flying from an early age as we came to boarding school in 1981. In those days, planes had to refuel at least once on their flight over from the Far East and these delays in exotic-sounding places in the Middle East and Europe were a sleep-sapping inconvenience. Little did we know that we would fall in love with travel later in life Continue reading
Teddy meets little Chewbacca
Other than the Ewoks on Endor, I identify most closely with Chewbacca in the Star Wars films. He’s big, furry, brave and loyal and he has a cool bowcaster that even Han Solo coveted in the latest Star Wars film 
Chewbacca was turned into a bit of a wimpy teddy bear in The Force Awakens for comedic value but he’s still a hero to me Continue reading
