Let me start off by saying, in no way will these posts be as frequent as this long-awaited sequel.

I forgot to mention in the previous blog my (brief) experience in Thailand - more specifically, Bangkok Airport.

We flew in there at 2:30am local time - not a lot going on in there at that stage. I was surprised that we had to disembark for a mere 40 minutes, but in that time they cleaned the plane, the toilets (thank Christ) and replaced my blanket, pillow and added an eye mask and a toothbrush etc.

Anyway, back to the airport story. I got off and started following these old British people like a sheep. I assumed they were going to London as well. I soon found this to be untrue when I found myself lining up in customs.
"Are you guys going to London?"
"No."
Luckily, a kind British woman noticed my predicament and help me out.
"This young American chap seems to have taken a wrong turn" she said to the first two airport people who didn't speak a word of English. Regardless, I eventually made it back to the general vicinity and found various Australians to talk to.

One such was a Canberra mother/son duo going to London for work. They offered for me to go into Qantas Club with them, I grudgingly accepted. We wandered around the airport which had signs pointed N, S, E & W for airport lounges - to no avail. Oh well.

So that was the story of me nearly trying to enter Thailand and then nearly getting into Qantas Club.

Win some you lose some.
