You know you fly far too much when this happens:
The Koru Club lounge at Wellington airport has a barista on-site from 6-9 in the morning. I walk in to catch my flight yesterday morning and walk up to her and before I can say anything she says “a long black today sir?” to which I reply “yes please” and then she says “and one sugar?”
When I get back from the breakfast bar there is my my long black (one sugar) waiting at the table where I had left my bag.
Good service but bad sign that I spend too much time at the airport!

Why do I always sleep so badly when I go away? And because I’m away a
lot it kinda sucks big time 🙂
It’s 05:20 in the morning on the second day of my extended away’ness and
here I am surfing the web ‘cos I’m wide awake 🙁 I got to bed about
11:00 last night after dropping some colleagues of at a strip club in
Auckland and Vic sounded quite surprised that I didn’t join them when I
called her on the way back to the hotel 🙂
Now don’t get me wrong, I love a pretty naked woman as much as they
next guy (or girl) but previous history shows that strip clubs just
depress me. I think it’s the sheer look of boredom that most of the
strippers have when they are performing that does my head in. Nudity
should be all about fun dammit! 😉
Ahhh bugger it, I’m back off to bed with my ipod to see if I can get
another hour or so.

With this new role and the changes in the country staff (maternity leave and redundancies) the amount of travelling that I’ve been doing has been more than I imagined when I took the job. To give you an idea of how much travelling is involved there are a couple of things.
The first is the fact that it’s only taken 7 months for me to reach Elite status with our national airline.
The second is my travel plans for the next three weeks. Here they are with dates and the city that I will be in:
Mon 15 Oct Home
Tue 16 Oct Auckland
Wed 17 Oct Auckland
Thu 18 Oct Auckland
Fri 19 Oct Auckland
Sat 20 Oct Travel to Tokyo
Sun 21 Oct Tokyo
Mon 22 Oct Tokyo
Tue 23 Oct Tokyo
Wed 24 Oct Tokyo
Thu 25 Oct Tokyo
Fri 26 Oct Travel from Tokyo
Sat 27 Oct Home!
Sun 28 Oct Travel to Sydney
Mon 29 Oct Sydney
Tue 30 Oct Sydney
Wed 31 Oct Sydney
Thu 01 Nov Sydney
Fri 02 Nov Auckland
So as you can see the next few weeks is going be a tad busy with only two days at home!

Well the ramen noodle house was a bit disappointing. They’ve been open for less than a week and I have a feeling that the noodle dish I ordered wasn’t quite as I imagined it so best I give it another go next week 🙂

So here I am in Auckland on my normal weekly trip and I’ve walked into the hotel to discover that a ramen noodle bar has opened in the foyer. Being a big fan of noodles (handy for my trip to Tokyo next week) I know where I’ll be going for dinner tonight 🙂

This post is being sent from my mobile phone/PDA.
The testing from a normal email account seemed to work so hopefully this will as well 🙂
If it does work then I have absolutely no reason for not posting!

As you may see I’ve just installed Rob Millers ‘s Now Reading widget. I’ll keep it going for a while, not only for y’all to see what I’m reading, but also to keep track of the books I’m reading myself.
It’ll take a while to populate but I’ll also add the last few books I’ve read……..
