Shes learning fast!

Cat is fine; she's the boss of everyone. There's probably an advantage to being deaf. Dog is having a little trouble sharing. The bed is big enough for at least three dogs but she seems to think she needs all that plus Lola's bed as well.

My friend had a cat similar..
She (the cat) had a favourite armchair that she territorial claimed as her own. One day, another friend happened to perch himself on the cat's favourite throne, without ado. We did clearly mention to our good friend that we suggest the choice of alternate chairs, as it was the cat's favourite & will be back shortly.. (whilst the cat was eating).
He declined, mentioning that he was most comfortable in the largest chair. When the cat returned, it turned vicious on the intruder (our invited friend) scratched him to pieces & apparently he has never returned for a visit. (whilst the cat is alive).

In relevance.. How was your SQ in Y flight?

Very good. They fully recognised my/our VA status and gave us lounge access to a partner lounge that I didn't believe we would get. Online checkin gave us access to premium seating and their economy food was very good. The only thing to really complain about was that is was economy and that's never fun when you are tall :!:

Hanoi is building a new very large terminal but I have to say that I have seem busier regional terminals in Oz than what we saw today. Very low key :!:

We arrived into FRA 1.5 hours ago and the place was dead. Straight through to the kerb in 5-10 minutes :cool:

Dare say tomorrow will be interesting. Had our LH FRA-LGW cancelled due to the LH strike, have been rebooked on BA. I'm hoping it's a revenue bucket now on BA and I may manage to earn some SC&points ;)

I can tell you where I AM going this year:

1. May - Ecuador and the Galapagos - nearly 4 weeks. JASA for most flights.
2. August - Kenya for an aerial safari to four game parks and then Rwanda to trek to the gorillas - just over two weeks. JASA PER-JNB-PER.
3. September-October - DONE4: Italy, France, London, Hungary, US, a couple of Caribbean islands and home ORD xHKG - 7 weeks.
4. November-December - Patagonia and Antarctica - nearly 4 weeks. Trying PE for the first time SYD-SCL-SYD but maybe the UPG request will kill that :cool:.

Damn - can't squeeze any more in :lol:.

Wow...that's impressive, not only for the magnitude of the trips but the points and SC haul.

Big TR schedule coming up :)

Tip: travel like this is immensely facilitated by two things that act in beautiful synergy: retirement and divorce:!: ;):lol::cool::p.
 
Let's see how much of a zoo FRA is going to be. LH strike on today. We've been rebooked onto BA, so hopefully FRA T2 will be alright...
 
[h=1]Firefighting equipment stolen from CFA[/h]
Firefighters trying to put out a blaze in a semi-trailer that closed part of the Hume Highway on the weekend discovered some of their fire fighting equipment needed to fight the fire had been stolen.


Police said they are investigating the burglary from the Wandong CFA station over the weekend where a large amount of fire fighting and rescue equipment was stolen.


It's believed the offenders broke into the Rail Street complex between Friday 19 April and Saturday 20 April, stealing around $15,000 worth of gear including breathing apparatuses, a portable defibrillator, portable radios, chainsaws and torches.

I'm betting it will be a zoo. Might be quicker to walk back to London :D

Ended up being the opposite (so far), walked straight up to a desk, deposited bags, added BA number to our BP's ;) and straight through immigration and into the lounge.
