Homeward bound (sort of....)

I choose to start this with a calming glass of Champagne Joseph Perrier. Fun fact - I was there at the launch in Australia of this house at Dan Murphy's Fine Wine Cellars in Prahran. Dirty Dan was the first importer and was a firm fave back in the day (until I discovered Pol Roger). I left the hotel knowing there was a 1 hour delay out of Colombo. By the time I reached check in it had blown out to nearly 4 hours. Means my Qantas Business Class connection from Singapore is ripped up - in fact instead of an 8pm flight ex SIN it is 8.30am tomorrow morning - on a Singapore Airlines flight!!!! Not even One World. I cannot comprehend this as being even possible. I am told I will know my accomodation when I arrive in Singapore. I will head straight to the Qantas desk when I arrive and say (thanks Kerry) if I had wanted to fly Singapore I would have made those arrangements. The options don't suit at all and the hassles of getting my points back, points owed, status credits owed blah blah don't bear thinking about. Anyway - I am here in the Sri Lankan international lounge with champagne and brilliant Sri Lankan food. By the time I went for food the selections pictured had been changed - so, I had dahl with mutton and potato curry plus a couple of sambals and pappadum. Excellent food! Nothing will change until I board - hopefully not delayed again so I will post this.Read more
