As I wing my way to the northern hemisphere and escape reality for a while – I’m 24 hours in and five to go before I land in Paris – the city of love! If it’s hot I will love it!
A recap on the trials and tribulations of getting to this day, 19th July 2023!
So it’s getting old the big wet that our part of the world has been getting in 2023! And many are just jumping on planes to have a break with some sunshine!
My Brother, Kevin , with whom I am not travelling with – he is on another plane out of N Z , and I left on Tuesday after his three week whirlwind visit to spend time with Dad, and his dear friends after 3 and a half years of absence. Needless to say he had a busy time, as did I preparing for my absence until october.
There has been Family time, Date nights with my sons – flat renovations, Dog time, work time, car time (didn’t help taking my passengers side mirror off on the day before leaving) maintenance time (weed eating the lawn as still too wet to cut with mower)
After a few hours at work on the morning of my leaving I had worked up an appetite for – my AIR New Zealand lounge feast, however the booking not allowing me to use my lounge vouchers as they had code shared with Singapore airlines and even though my round trip is booked and paid to AIR NZ I flew on Singapore! So looking forward to lunch it was back to the old faithful treat – Big Mac combo with lemonade! The lemonade loosely translated by the lady who took my order to iced tea! Not a great start from a food perspective!
First flight to Singapore was full, second one not so much – I have a seat between me and my immediate roommate on the 13 hour flight to Paris – now four hours out….and the humans who have been sleeping about to burst into action – there will be a run on the bathrooms, possibly another meal – so far 1 out of three has been edible – at least a coffee to prepare me for my first French experience – Airport to my Friends via Taxi!
Due to land at 7.30am, navigate the circles of Charles de Gaulle airport and taxi across town to my friends….. the adventures begin after 30 hours of plane time! Roll on summer!
