Good morning Vicky - I have just found your channel and am looking forward to seeing your packing light videos. While I enjoy some other you tubers’ packing videos they usually don’t conform to our carry on weight restrictions. 🤷‍♀️. Thanks for your fun and informative video! 😊

I have a jacket and a vest that has multiple, very useful pockets. Scott-E Vest has men's and women's jackets and vests with pockets big enough for a laptop, tablet, RFID passport pockets etc. They are not cheap but can significantly reduce weight going in a personal item

the requirement you speak of are "dimensions"

Wouldn’t a bag that fits under the seat be considered a personal item?

I bought Take Off luggage which measures 18x14x8 plus the wheels that can pop on and off with the push of two buttons

Personal items and carry ons need to be smushable these days! Eventually we will be paying by the pound. 🙄

So even i buy a ticket on Nov 2024 and going In Business class and on ticket it says one personal item 2 carry on and 2 checked bag is that change too

I guess it’s time to travel here in Greece again Vicky! Only a small bag needed for the trips at the beach!! :-)

These changes are probably why social media has recently bombarded me with ads for carry-on luggage.

Rewatching Jan 25 thank you.

Am never checking in again cost me 2 weeks of time and money my bag was lost 4 times last travel.. will have to just take minimum as cant carry much as asthmatic. Ridiculous that each budget airline has different bag size free item! Where I sit so will my bag whether flight train or bus. If all about safety then why do they let bus 1st class bring such huge weight bags!!

The samsonite will still suit all the airlines that aren't so strict, but if there's no overhead space left you may be forced to check it in

💖💖💖

Just so you know that first class is basically the same as economy class but with more legroom and recline

I watch these sorts of videos all the time and I get the sense everyone is trying to protect Melbourne’s feelings. 😉

Thank you very much for your video. You made everything look really special. I’ll be cruising on the Queen Elizabeth, my 1st cruise with Cunard, & sour video really helped me a lot. Thanks again!

Nigh music of the streets of Madrid would be convenient

What a hell of a job 🙂😊😉🙃

I’m a Melbourne boy who had my first coffee on tour in Vienna, with all the cream and stuff on the top. Later I learned about good espresso in Italy, and it was only after that that coffee in Melbourne became consistently good like it is now. Ballarat and Bendigo would be two good day-trips that are easy to do on public transport. Sorrento is nice, but you are right- the bus takes forever!

Sydney didn't get trams to be more like Melbourne. We got them because we needed them. Sydney had trams until the 1960's

I stay in Vienna for now.... ..,😉

Fun fact linking trams and music. The Sydney Opera House was built on the location of the old Fort Macquarie Tram Depot - built in 1902 and demolished in 1958. Sydney used to have a bigger tram network than Melbourne but it was closed down and ripped up in 1961. I'm not fully sure why, but I think there were political ideas and usage trends (that may well have been relatively short term if the trams were kept) suggesting cars and buses were the way of the future.

Please stop making these videos. Australia needs LESS people moving here not more. It’s ruining everything.

The architecture topic is an interesting one that I haven't given much thought until now. Melbourne's economy was very strong throughout most of the latter half of the 19th Century when architecture was quite nice to look at even if it wasn't all that practical. It's population growth, and hence its high rise boom, was slower than Sydney's for the majority of the 20th Century. And in particular, the latter half of it, for which architecture of that particular period is now looked back on not too fondly. Melbourne then took off again at the start of this Century when architecture had already started to aesthetically improve. And the skyline kind of reflects that. Whereas Sydney's growth over the decades has been a little more consistent over the same timeline. The differences are subtle but Melbourne kind of looks both older and newer at the same time.

if your shallow and rich. Sydney. If you think youre arty but arent Melbourne

I've heard Sydney described as the beautiful sister and Melbourne as the nice sister. Most people prefer beauty.

"I am your expert". Sorry 12 years living in Australia does not make you an expert. All Cities in Australia are unique. Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and Hobart all have some very special Cultures and Attractions. Weather is dictated by their location of where you live and with a huge Continent Island the weather can 'arrive' from over the Sea or from the Hot Central Outback.

I'll take that as a fair comparison governed by your head. Your conclusion is governed by your heart. No complaints about that, either.

I'd love to see you perform. You should advertise your gigs more 🙂

Wouldn't live in both of them

Thanks Vicky this is a great summary between the two cities I feel exactly the same one thing that you didn't cover is sports and Melbourne people live and breathe sports like F1 race and tennis with The Australian Open and thousands and thousands of people going to the Australian AFL football as well as the Boxing Day Test Cricket. Oh just a reminder about your fitness trip to The Thousand Steps. Great to see another video from you 😊 hey I'll in a link to Australian football explained just that it's so so important to the people of Melbourne kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5C2opmEg8ubo68si=pZXP6aDmGWh5NN6A

That’s a really good summary and yes you will make more money and move back to Sydney. Ha ha. And for me I love Melb but have moved 1hr out and have the best of both worlds. A local Art Center great cafes and a Myki train to the City for all that it offers. Ha ha and in Sydney again for Coldplay and yes it rained ( Didn’t worry Chris) and I must be unlucky because that always happens grr But home is where the heart is so we have both made the right decisions. 🥂🎶 Cheers John.

Charming, elegant and unfailingly gracious. Add her infectious humour and irrestible German accent and Australia has Germany's diamond.

Great video I have to say ☺️

Beautiful Apartment !! Was it fully furnished or did you get your own furniture and bed ?

So many turtles!! 🐢🐢🐢

Vicky!!! I have several complaints about this video: 1.) You claim to be our mum’s “favorite child” 😩 2.) Only “the important ones” came to pick you up from the airport 😭 3.) Gregor is our mum’s “preferred son-in-law” 😡 OMG! It all comes out now! 😳😅😂

I really don’t know how you manage with all these trips in such a short period of time, different time zones, sleep deprivation etc. - are we really related?

why Hasn't this Awesome Beautiful Woman got more subbs, After Watching for Only A minute i hit the Subscribe Button Because i love your Engery your bubbly Personality And your Beautiful Smile. May God 🙏🏻 Always watch Over You And keep You Safe

And how long were the flights from LA to Atlanta and Atlanta to NY?

That beach really looks amazing!! I hope you went for a proper swim as well though?

Well done for completing your walking challenge!! And the little bit of nature that is to be had there is actually quite nice, the cacti and palm trees.. 🌵🌴

Nice boats! And I like the sound of the rain on the roof of the boat… must be so nice when you’re out at sea when it’s raining and you’re sitting inside all dry and cozy with a cup of tea.. ☔️💜

nice..

I have always wanted to see Queen Elizabeth cruise ship!!

This should be a 3 hour trip : The fundamental problem with HSR is that the rail gauge of 1435 mm is far too narrow (as the rail cars a 3040 mm in width) - so the trains have to follow a (very expensive) virtual straight line - or tip over! This is a classic “5 Monkey Experiment” scenario - “we have always done it (incorrectly) that way”!! The so-called “Standard” rail gauge is only 1435 mm (which was actually engineered for 5’ width (mining) rail cars - and not for 8’ 0” rail cars! Brunel (in the CE 1830 - 40s) came up with a 7’ 0” rail “Broad” gauge that was perfect for 8’ 0” width rail cars - as this was far more stable and far larger load capacity (and lower maintenance) than the narrower gauges! All hell broke loose and Stephenson eventually pressed the UK Parliament for the “UK Standard Rail Gauge Act” CE 1846 to deliberately / deceptively eliminate Brunel’s excellent “Broad” gauge competing with his then commonly used “standard” gauge. In the CE 1920-30s Train cars became even wider to 10’ 0” (3040 mm) - and far more unstable as they were still using “Standard” gauge (1435 mm) that was less than half the width (3040 mm) of the cars. Would you drive road car with an 1800 mm width that has barely an 850 mm wheel gauge? No! Well only in a straight line!! The correct rail gauge for 3040 (10’ 0”) rail cars is 2540 mm (8’ 4”) “Wide” gauge rail! With this “Wide” gauge, these rail cars will be very stable and the HSR “Wide” rail lines do not have to be dead straight (as per HSR using the incorrect “Standard” Gauge rails)! This correctly engineered “Wide Gauge” rail line in Australia can then be applied for about 90% of the way using the pre-existing rail easements at a small fraction of the cost of making completely new rail easements and tracks. WDYT ?! 😊

Could not find the price of tickets on line or if you could buy at the gate so stick in up your no where
