Sticky Suitcase Makeover

Luggage is so boring! But with these great stickers, you can liven up your old bag and get some raised eyebrows from the airport officials (even if they are for the wrong reasons)…

If you’re not that risky and naughty, you could try the cash route…

Else, get your Pablo on…

If all else fails, smuggle an air hostess…

If you’re into covering things up with stickers, check out the range of Garage Doors to Die For.

Smugglers Cove is the Place to Be

Draw your attention to Navagio – located on the north-west shore of the Ionian island of Zakynthos:

Navagio is an isolated sandy cove and one of the most famous beaches in Greece… this has got to convince you that there IS a god!

It is notable because it is home to the wreck of the alleged smuggler ship Panagiotis… that’s why it’s often referred to as ‘Smugglers Cove’. Smuggle away…

Best you get yourself the Largest Yacht in the World or better yet, The Worlds Biggest Yacht, Really this time!

For me personally? I’ll settle with 86 Feet of Sea-Slicing Yacht Heaven!

Sandton City Renovation Upgrade

Almost two years ago we saw Sandton City begin its transformation of a R1,77-billion ‘masterplan’, which includes refurbishment of the existing centre, addition of 30 000 m2 of new retail space, improved access and additional parking bays.

But the ‘masterplan’ part?? Behold…

You see the second building from the left? That’s the existing landmark tower that’s graced the JHB skyline for decades. That means the bad boy on the far left is new – 80 stories of glamour to be precise! I believe that may make this building the tallest in the southern hemisphere.

Small trip to Lory Park Zoo

The not-so-well-known Lory Park Zoo in Midrand is amazing! I’m not a supporter of confined animals, but I was really impressed by the quality of the venue and the food that the animals are fed… “their coats are gorgeous!” one lady exclaimed!?

Just look at these stylish okes!

Apart from being lightweight and durable, the trademark of Samsonite’s collection, the new line of luggage presents a high-end wheel suspension system that absorbs the impact of bumpy ground to protect the valuables inside the bag, quite reminiscent of the trendy F1 racing cars, which protect the valuable driver inside.

Produced under the “McLarenSport Samsonite Black Label Collection,” the bags (starting at $326) will be launched this year at all Samsonite stores worldwide. How sweet are the little F1 wheels???

You can grab one for a puny $15 (about R125) Over here.

Traveling SAA (or any) Economy Class is Shit.

I’m not sure when you last traveled? But I can quite easily say that 99% of domestic flights I’ve been on in the last two years have left me feeling like the gent boarding the phanty above (without the assistance of two diaper dressed hostesses of course).
