Just thought that I'd make one post.
I am writing this from Vientiane!!

Anyway got here a couple of days ago.
My flights so far:
Qantas 737-400 Wellington-Sydney (remarks= Rejected Take-off (got it on video))
Qantas 747-400 Sydney-Bangkok (remark= didn't get window seat sad.gif )

Air Asia 737-300 Bangkok-Udon Thani (remarks= flight canceled thus put on one 9 hours later)

Nice weather here to. So far all we've had is sun and high 20's - low 30's!
Anyway hopefully I can post later. Videos etc. will be posted back in NZ with more details.

Also merry xmas for those in non-Buddhist nations - xmas doesn't exist....

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

Two Christmas' in Vietnam on the trot ay Tui? Have you got family or friends over there that you stay with?

Weather in Auckland has been pretty decent... was warm enough to eat out on the deck on the 25th, got sunburnt on Boxing Day and went for a swim.. have heard that its -1 degrees in England where I was staying in August, and in Germany, the hills are covered in snow and my friends went skiing on the 26th!

It's weird to hear people say 'how small the world is these days' when there's so much variation just a couple of hours flight time away!

The MA-60 is an interesting aircraft, always seems like a cross between a Dash 8 and an AN-26.
