Another day and another office. I am always a bit wary at the Pier Lounge in HKG airport because I once saw an Air France A380 parked there, and I am never quite certain whether AF pilots have to complete the parking module of the A380 training course.

I can see parking spots, where's the cars ;)

To me it always invokes the scene from Flying High! There are a few lounges like this including the AF lounges in CDG T2 where every plane nosing is from AF!
 
After arriving in Edinburgh yesterday at 1.30pm, I climbed the highest mountain in Britain today: naturally, I did not expect sunshine at this time of year and the constant rain, and later also hail, matched what I was thinking I might battle against, however the snow at the top was a bit of a surprise. Not everyone was equipped for that, I saw people in shorts... great hike though but not much of a view from the summit.

The view of the parking lot from Hampton Inn & Suites Springdale/Zion National Park.... this'll do for a few nights ;)

SpringHill Suites by Marriott across the parking lot.

I find it interesting that in most of these heavily tourist trafficked places you tend to just get the lower end of chain hotels. Still charge a pretty penny though....

Loved Zion and stayed in Springfield for a few days. Have you tried Polygamy yet? ;)

It's OK Mrs Flashback might like the Polygamy beer too
