renault Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Just a little bit of "whimsy" and wishing for warmer weather. Cheers R Orbx Alaska Mesh Landmarks Brisbane City Pack YBBN Brisbane International Airport Orbx Mackay Airport (YBMK) KCBE Bryce REX Accuseasons REX Weather Force SimWorks Studios Kodiak 100 Series II Real Weather - clear and sunny .... -32C , pretty much sums it up where I'm at. But with Covid it's just not feasible to travel, but virtually, well that's another matter. Yes !! . I'm off somewhere warm .... And almost instantly (it's my dream , right) here we are at YBBN Brisbane International My flight goes on a bit later today, so lets just nip into the city for some breakfast and sightseeing(the dream thing again). But then again , you can just settle for one view and watch the fog.... Too bad about the weather and I really should be getting back. But its 24C so, no complaints here! I decided to try a boat out to the airport. What's the saying if "you can dream it you can do it." Works great ...! And I won't bore you with getting through Brisbane and on to the right flight. But here we are at our destination .... Mackay Airport (YBMK) - Queensland, just a short hop from Brisbane Now this is a dream come true .... clean and new, shrubs in full bloom, no snow !! You can't ask for anything more . And it's supposed to get to 30C this afternoon Just think, 24 hrs ago I was on the other side of the 30 Just look at the shrubs. Full bloom and it just looks so warm out. And it is !! Just gorgeous ... And this looks just fine and will do for supper , I'm sure Definitely not a bad spot to be and palm trees no less .... what a dream And there's my hotel for the night. I've stayed in Ibis all over Europe and their good, comfortable and great food and service. I'll just have a quick look around while I'm here. Hey, that's my plane I think. But it looks like they're doing something to it. Ah yes, typical armchair piloting . Parked in the wrong spot --- again! I guess the "H" didn't stand for "here" I think I will stay here forever, or at least until spring back home But then, I had the weirdest experience. Some "monster" aircraft outside this little wooden hanger trying to get in, but it was too big and some guy named "Tim" shouting at the top of his lungs about a missing pony at KCBE Scary stuff And then I woke up .... and it was still cold and snowy , rats! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Season here is almost "cancelled" at the moment. With wind chill -40 ish. But you're right. It's a wonderful sport and really is something to look forward to in the winter season. Personally I just like going out for walks when I can. At my age I worry about falling, so I have good winter boots with carbide ice grippers and that works really well for me. Cheers & all the best for 2022! Pete 14 hours ago, Stillwater said: A fantastic compilation and storyline, Pete. And it increases my desire for Summer slightly. Thanks Gerold! All the best for 2022!
