So the boys are off with a great start in a business class seat to Tokyo. They were so excited and Vern was looking forward to a great nap! Let’s hope that works out for him. If all goes to planRead more

Well the boys have settled into the apartment in London after a great trip up. Business class on QF to Haneda and then economy on BA to London. That said there were heaps of spare seats on BA so theyRead more

Lou and I made it to London after a very long journey. Sydney to Singapore was a great flight in premium economy. Great food and extra space. The next sector was a bit more of a challenge in economyRead more

Here are a few more photo from London. The winter wonderland was great fun but even with a long sleeved shirt, a wool jumper, ski jacket, beanie and gloves, once the sun set that was no where nearRead more
Katrina Parker No Al it’s definitely not shorts weather. Top temp today of 4 degrees! There is no wind so it’s fine if you are walking but the moment you stop you start to get cold.

Ok so the jet lag is still a big issue for the boys but hopefully tonight will be better. This morning they were up at 1am and didn’t go back to sleep!
This morning we set off for Leicester SquareRead more
Traveler Sounds absolutely amazing but cold! How many more extra layers did u pack for Switzerland?!! It looks like u are wearing them all already! I recall LEAH telling me how cold the winter is in London and how she used to have to wear her thermals under her work clothes in order to walk to work. Lol. And Lou, just buy the Doc Martins. Uncle Daz will pay for them. Lol.
Traveler And tell Vern to get totally immersed in the Xmas spirit and buy him and Phillip matching jumpers. It’s a must-do!
Katrina Parker I totally love the matching jumpers idea. Maybe we should all get them and have a Santa photo together! I haven’t worn the thermals yet but if I was outside at night again I would. I am enjoying London more this time even though it’s cold, because there isn’t the crowds. And I totally love all the Christmas lights and the carols being played everywhere. Going dark at 4pm is doing my head in though. It’s pitch black at 4.30pm but you feel like it’s about 8.30pm!

Traveler Hey great news. That will make it more fun.

I have to ask. If Will changes to a bed, how does Lochie get out ?
Katrina Parker
Good question. I think there is space at the feet to get around. The flat beds in the B744 are a pretty old design now but still a bed! Also Will goes to the toilet 4 times more often than lochie so I am sure that is why Will is on the aisle.
