A Travel, Photography and Points Blog
Do you have a bunch of Fujifilm Instax or Polaroid film prints laying around the house (or stowed away in a box)… never to be seen again?
The best way to gain joy from our photos and bring back great memories is to see these photos frequently. That means making it as visible as possible.
So here’s a fun way to showcase those Instax you don’t know what to do with.
Turn them into a framed piece of wall art for your home.

Last year, in August 2023 we made the big move from Perth, Australia to Houston, USA.
It was a long journey hopping across multiple time zones and taking three medium-to-long haul flights to get to the literal opposite side of the world.
Around 21 hours of flight time and 5.5 hours of airport layovers.
In a previous blog post, I shared my flight experience in United Airline’s Polaris business class from Sydney to Las Angeles.
Today, I want to dive into our bittersweet moment of leaving our hometown of Perth, albeit temporarily, to have a once in a lifetime experience of living and working in another country.
We were fortunate to be flying in business class on my husband’s company dime for the all segments of our journey to the USA.
We flew in the Qantas Airbus A330 business class cabin for our 4 hour flight from Perth to Sydney.
So lets dive into how it went.

A year ago in August 2023, we made the big move from Perth, Australia to Houston, USA.
It was quite the journey of taking three medium to long flights and crossing multiple time zones to get to the literal opposite side of the world.
Around 21 hours of flight time and 5.5 hours of airport layovers.
We were leaving cold and rainy wintery Perth and landing in hot and humid Texas. Apparently it was Houston’s “worse summer”. I couldn’t have agreed more, with 38 to 42 degrees celcius temperatures for a couple of months.
We were lucky to fly in business class for the all segments of the flight.
The United Airline Polaris Business class was the international segment and the longest of the three flights. Naturally that was also the flight that had the most to experience and share.
So lets dive into how it went.
