Or should I say the marathon starts - hour 2 of 38. Stephen is making the Qantas Lounge pay - he is on his second breakfast. I am hanging out for a gin and tonic - ten in the morning is a bit early.
Traveler From BB's experience, it's never too early for a G&T as long as you keep it down to one bottle before 11:00am. Two breakfasts is good if one of them is pancakes, maple syrup and ice cream! Go the Yatz! You beauties, max out the lounge, relish the big seats and send us lots of pickies of the ice. Monochrome is good, Luv Te barnz
