御元気ですか?

Just thought I'd make note that today marks six months that I have been living in Dubai - I never thought it could go so fast!! Already I've been to over 20 countries and seen some amazing stuff. Here are some pictures of my last flight which was to Osaka, Japan. It wasn't a great flight. The crew didn't gel very well, two passengers fell very ill and required urgent medical attention - given by yours truly, Dr. Watson! They were okay in the end, but my heart was racing so fast in contrast to theirs which were not.

I went to Universal Studios when I arrived in Osaka, just to keep the theme park tradition alive, and it was a pretty exciting place. Comparable to Movie World on the Gold Coast. So enjoy the pictures, and hold on to your hats because in a few days it will be a Westlife picture spectacular! I'm going to London tomorrow and I'm extremely excited!!! Trying to get myself onto a Brisbane flight in the near future so will be hoping to see some of you soon. Keep the comments coming as well, I take great pleasure in reading them.













The Jurassic Park ride - final splashdown, very scary, very fun and very wet!

My July

Commiserations to our Socceroos from a fairly dejected Australian cabin crew contingent over here in ol' Dubai. The match was in prime time over here and thus allowed for a pretty hefty drinking session which all ended in tears. Sorry for delay in posting Osaka pictures, I will do that today.

July 1 - LONDON
July 2,3,4,5,6,7 - DUBAI

BEFORE there was a 3 hour delay on ground at the airport.
BEFORE every passenger got up me because I didn't personally fix the faulty landing gear.
BEFORE I was abused for not memorising the entire Emirates connection schedule.
BEFORE I served a hot dinner to 200 pissed-off French people at 4am
BEFORE I got home and fell asleep at 10am....
There was DISNEYLAND PARIS!

In the tradition of last week's Paris Picture Palooza, I bring you (the creatively titled) Disneyland Paris Picture Palooza...
(click to enlarge)


Disney Maccas does it better! Waiting to get in, and outside City Hall...


Sleeping Beauty's castle - every man's dream holiday (or is that just me?!)


Inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. More or less the same as the Looney Tunes ride at Movie World


Space Mountain (best ride in the world!), with Andrew my batchmate in the 3D show of Honey I Shrunk The Kids, and The Lion King show


Ye olde carousel, ye olde Mickey balloons, ye olde teacup ride... - you can control the speed of your teacup as it spins from inside the ride, and while everyone else was enjoying the casual pace, one dad with three young kids thought it'd be hilarious to go as fast as he could. His kids necks were snapped back and they were screaming as Dad brought up their lunches... you couldn't see them they were a blur of hair...I was laughing so hard, especially when they got off and these 6 year olds were pale white, falling over and about to hurl. I know it sounds mean but it was very, very funny at the time!


The Wonderful World of Disney Parade - I felt like I was 23 again!

Thankyou Disney, I'll be back!

Back to Paris

Hello all!

I've just arrived for in Paris for my second of two trips this month. There was only 32 passengers in all of economy which made things extremely easy and a little bit boring. After 3 Sudokus and 7 games of Tetris against my friend Andy in the back row, my IQ was raised 10 points, but my boredom was kicking into overdrive!

About to head downstairs to the bar to watch the England-Sweden match and knock down a pint or two (though at 9 Euros a pop, maybe I'll just have one) and then tomorrow I get to fulfill yet another life goal! - I"M GOING TO EURO-DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to put up all my photos. Well actually I can't wait to get there in the first place to take said photos...I think you get my drift. And sorry for all the blog readers (ie Mitch) for 5 days of inactvity. To fill you in on my movements....I was stuck in Dubai! Very happy to be somewhere else even for only a few days.

Just thought I'd let you know that it is 3.50pm on Thursday the 15th of June, and outside it is 45, yes FORTY-FIVE degrees!

Not to draw too much attention away from my pretty fantastic Paris pictures (scroll down).... but thought you might like to know that the pop music stars have aligned for me and a dream of mine is about to come true! I have managed to get myself on a flight to London on the 30th of June and once I secured this flight, I was able to get two tickets to a WESTLIFE CONCERT!!!! It's being held outdoors in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, about an hour of London, and I cannot wait! Now I know for many of my tens of fans they would rather eat their own eyeballs than sit through two hours of boyband covers and cheesy hits, but for me, well you know me - I think it's the best!

Paris Picture Palooza (June 7th)

The tallest crew member in Emirates strikes again....
