Well I'm still recovering after the trip to Hong Kong, but I've started up the content upload of the trip (the videos and photos - the writing is taking a LOT longer) Here's the first batch of photos From Birmingham to Zurich aboard LX425 - http://www.photoblog.com/kevincm/2012/11/21/birmingham-to-zurich-lx425.html Zuirch Airport - Dayrooms and Senator Lounge - … [Read more...]
So did I make it back to Birmingham… Or am I still going around the houses?
One picture should answer that. Regular GhettoIFE readers should recognise it... Put it like this. I did make it across Zurich in time... But it was cutting it ode at some points.... Lots more in the trip report which will be coming soon - but I need a few days to even start sorting the content out.... … [Read more...]
Barcelona Airport….. shame the wifi is awful
A quick hello from Barcelona as the madness part of the run continues where I switch from Oneworld to Star to get home. And the Wifi is free for 15 minutes... and it's awful quality.

Hong Kong weather moves fast. I woke up earlier today to this lovely scene. Yes, that's blue sky you can see - I was in shock too. Now skip forward a few hours... and what happens? Oh well. Off to check out in a bit, then ride the ding-dings* and do a bit more travel photography before preparing for the long slog home... * The Trams of course... like this one … [Read more...]

Pre-flight exercise
Well it's been fun at LHR so far. Apart from the lovely glasses of pop I've sunk, it seems the transit system between the terminals is now broken for the next 30 minutes or so. So it's been a nice hike to the C Dock from T5A.... Wonderful. Oh well. Pre flight exercise is good.. I suppose. … [Read more...]
Just to scare one reader…. (and hello from the BA F lounge)
Because I can ;) Barcelona now done and dusted - and now readying for the long leg from LHR. And nice Bolly rose bubbles if I do say so myself. Oh, and the burger is here too... … [Read more...]
