Last week was a amazing week as we had Tiffany at home for 10 days, but for this, read Mari blog entry (coming very soon)...what a week of happiness! After this, back on the road for me...again...

This blog is just short of 10 years old. We have now move to South Africa. Why South Africa? Simple, great wine, great food, great golf and even more amazing diving! I will for once continue to blog from time to time about home. After all, this is just my fourth continent after having grow up in Europe, lived in Asia for twenty years, and even spent a full year living the life of Buenos Aires. Come to visit....there is so much to do here! ... full info

Pure luxury
Even at that discount (and quite hefty too), I still can't afford it! Thanks for taking pictures. Now, I know how it looks up there. ;-)

Qantas from Australia - after an engine incident - are also flying the A-380 to London and LA from Sydney thanks

to Michael
Hi Michael, sadly I have to admit a return first on a long haul will always be out of my reach on any of these flights. This is why I love Cathay so much...I splurge my miles on a business class, and they even upgrade me to First on a miles ticket...the trick is to book way ahead on flights that i know will be fully booked later on in business. It's a miles game!

Sex n the shower
Pierre-Alexandre, DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH MARY IN THE SHOWER AT 35,000 ft. A friend of mine did it in BA in the toilets. The heat detector went on and he and his sea mate got detained for a few hours when they landed in London. Cheers. Henri

Thank you for sharing!
Have no doubt, this was an interesting read. Being a fellow traveller who has no car but splurges on travel, this could be an experience to attempt one day. Surprised at the lack of privacy in the Suites, but the shower is amazing. Please try Qatar Business Class, they have wonderfully cheap airfares from Bangkok.

How the other half live!
Wow, that looks great. We have never experienced business or first class, but it's a step up from Air Asia for sure! We'd say it's a lifestyle you could quickly become accustomed to! Safe travels guys and enjoy your next trip, we look forward to reading the blogs! Donna and Neil x

I can only say wow!!... I've never flown in first class (and probably never will), but like Donna and Neil said, one could get used to it pretty fast!!... I should start saving and give it a go one day... it must be hard to go back to economy after that ;o)

Thanks for all your comments!
don't worry too much, I'm still a very regular on Air Asia too. It's all about Carpe Diem...enjoy today, let it be in First or on Air Asia...smile! Henry, nice to hear from you. Don't worry, the shower room is of such a size...and the hot water is already putting temperature pretty high, not sure we would raise much further the temperature. And 2 different flight attends confirmed to me...if you don't disturb anybody, we will not knock on the door....this is the sad realization of a simple point...they let you play more freely in front of the plane. One last interesting point, I never had so many hits in less than 2 days...over 640 hits in 48 hours...I leave to each the choice of putting an interpretation to why such success...
