After a good night’s rest we were up and ready to kick off our adventure. First up was a trip into Chicago for breakfast at Lou Mitchell’s they have been serving breakfasts for over 100 years. It is a ‘must do’ when you begin your Route 66 journey from Chicago. It was also a great …
Check-in was painless, a lot better experience than last year. We got to sit in the Singapore Airlines Lounge due to the upgrade to Business Class. As to Business Class I can only say, wow. Business Class is something else and it was a fantastic experience. No matter which class you fly though it’s a …

I was very disappointed with the “Breakie Creek”, after looking forward to a dry aged steak for months they said they couldn’t do …
As were doing the ABC’s of Touring via the HOG (Harley Owners Group) we decided on an overnighter to Clermont in central Queensland. Clermont is a great country town to visit and it’s well worth booking into a motel to stay the night. We stayed at Smart Stayzzz Inns Clermont it’s as far as I know the …
There’s something about the USA and Route 66 that I just love. If I could I’d visit it more than I have been able to to date. Route 66 is in my opinion one of the ‘must do’ drives for any motoring enthusiast. Be it in a car or on a bike it is a …
