redbagwilltravel On our way to Rocky Mountains Colorado. The Eisenhower Tunnel was initially the highest tunnel for vehicles in the world when it opened in 1973. While other tunnels have surpassed it in height globally, it remains the highest in the US and the longest mountain tunnel. #tunnels #engineering

redbagwilltravel It seems like yesterday I was taking my son on Puffing Billy Melbourne’s iconic steam train. Now he’s 30 and we are taking my 8 year old grandson. Puffing Billy is fun at any age. Hanging your legs over the edge is a rite of passage. #puffingbilly #railway #melbourne #steamtrain

redbagwilltravel Happy birthday darling Henry. Glad to see you turning 30 surrounded by such great long time friends, your partner of a decade, family and colleagues. So happy you and Ellen also got to hold the party in your new home. I heard some voices chorusing in from heaven as well. Granny, Alex your Dad and Craig were happy you are hitting your milestones and still keeping a special place for them in your heart. As you said the door is always open. And that includes the door to your heart.

redbagwilltravel Koala Lou I do love you. I always have and I always will. #koala

redbagwilltravel Great to have them Down Under. #family

redbagwilltravel My lovely daughter put her science degree to great work and made the ladies in my building cocktails for my birthday bash. Ink Gin Fizz cocktails. #Such a joyous affair. #cocktails

redbagwilltravel Perfect 70th birthday. Getting my kids, one from Denver the other from Ringwood in the same place. And seeing my grandkids on the same day. Even if one hijacked my candle. And my helium balloon was deflated and they made me wear it like a draft horse. Feeling blessed.

redbagwilltravel The older I get the more I love the music from my youth. I guess we’ll be singing Beatles music in our nursing homes. Those of us who don’t refuse to go. roofers #TheeRooftops a Beatles Band. Part of #musicfestKew

redbagwilltravel Long time since I taught. But I can’t remember school being so much fun. I’ve been invited as Luci’s special friend. Book character day for Education Week. Fun! Fun! Fun!

redbagwilltravel I was invited along as Luci’s “special friend”. From my teaching days I can’t remember school being so much fun. Education Week and a special book character day.

redbagwilltravel Oh, perfect day. My son found the perfect morning coffee. Followed by the best ever steak at Dolly @lemeridienmelbourne Then a few Banksies @theoutsidersmelbourne before a drink on the banks of the Yarra @riverlandbar Mother’s Day. Except my mother never told me they’d be days like this. She just told me it would hurt. Sons. Gotta love em. And I’ve a great one! He’s the gift of life that keeps on giving and he didn’t hurt a bit.

redbagwilltravel One rarely thinks of chefs They are behind the scenes. But at a recent event, The Four Chef Showdown I got insights into what goes on behind the scenes. Big personalities. #racvclub #chefintraining #cheflife #japanesefood
