Well, I'm writing this from Hong Kong airport - my first 9 hour stopover in my journey to Wellington (New Zealand). I have a flight at 11.15 tonight to Brisbane, where I stay for about 14 hours, before finally flying off to Wellington. Gotta love travelling.

All this, so that I can exhaust myself even further doing an Outward Bound course in the middle of winter. I must be English, no-one else would be quite so mental.

Anyone else got some interesting flights lined up?

Not sure if it really counts, but I might be flying to NYC on the 11th of September.

Doesn't bother me but everyone else in the office seems to think I'm crazy, but I think everyone else is the price these tickets were.

And this my friends is why you must get a Lear Jet! best invention ever... for the traveller (and assuming you can afford one).

I'm afraid it's in the shop for repairs...

Oh, I remember being delayed at Miami Airport for over nine hours. Before a cross-Atlantic flight of eight.

Had to wait 4 hours at Schipol Airport in transit, then they told us one of the engines is malfunctioning and they ll repair it and we ll have to wait more, it tooks us about six hours and while flying I kept trying to take a look and make sure all the engines are in place and not on fire.... ~;)

...I had my girlfriend with me though and they have really nice chicken satay at Schipol so I was allright...
