Ask Steph

 Dear Virgin Australia... Last month I flew up to Brisbane for the day, to visit Visual Impact . It was a multi purpose trip, consisting of visiting the show, networking, spreading the word about International Print Day , meeting with clients, and making new connections.  6 am flight out,  and 5 pm flight back. No sorry, 4:55 pm flight back. That's important, that 5 minutes; and you'll see why later.  Now, there is really nothing dramatic that I can complain about, and truly the flights were mostly uneventful;  but, some small things have let you down. So much so, that I doubt that I will choose to fly VA again when given other options.  Let's start with the check in process.

This is another gratitude entry , but it comes by way of a funny story. So I walked into the shop the other day, pulled out my purse to pay, I had a wallet full of cash, but  I could not pay and I had to use a card. Why ? Because all I had on me was : $5 US Note $3 and some change from New Zealand $10 and some coins from Singapore Approximately ZAR 5 and some coins And not a single Aussie note or coin in the lot . It seems I am travelling so much these days ( for work ) that I don't have time to draw Aussie cash from an Aussie ATM. And the thing is, I see that as something amazing. That I have a life that enables me to travel and see the world, and suffer through such a tragic first world problem as no local currency to pay for my groceries. What a fantasic life that is. :-)
