    Intro
    Manly, AustraliaJoined in Jun 2010
    A traveller that loves to pack as much into a trip as possible. The less time in the hotel the better. Out on the streets, into the bars and breweries and learn as much about each place I visit as I can.

    Not a gallery guy - but this was brilliant
    My daughter and I are not gallery people. Our LA hosts raves about the Broad, so I booked tickets online and made it the centrepiece of our downtown LA visit. T...

    Unusual beach and watch out for oil!
    I was intrigued by the pictures that showed a railway bridge running behind the beach. The detour off PCH was not far, so we drove down to the car park, and wal...

    So glad we detoured
    The Mystery Spot came up on google maps and then I looked it up. An inexpensive diversion, so my 19yo daughter and I said “what the heck”. Our male guide was hi...

    Well worth seeking out - plenty of IPAs
    This was a fortuitous discovery. We weren’t looking for this place, but as luck would have it, we passed by as we tried to join PCH heading north. My daughter k...

    Easy, quick - tick it off
    An unusual attraction for sure. As you can tell from my daughter’s expression - this isn’t visually appealing, but is very different. We got our Uber to take us...

    With many breweries to choose from in SLO, my daughter and I opted to have dinner at Bang the Drum Brewery because they also had a trivia night. We really enjoy...

    Decent beer and lots of room
    I visited on a rainy Sunday afternoon and there was no one else in the joint. Quite a large space. I didn’t eat anything there, but had some interesting beers. ...

    A good hotel, but not well located for tourists
    I chose this hotel because of a great deal with Hilton Honours points. It is clean and well appointed. The staff are very helpful. I couldn't work out why this...
