The start

Mags saw me off at home and Math at the airport.
Flying Emirates A380 business class is literally the dream of a lifetime come true. Iv pushed it back in the truck at the airport .I've stood underneath it on the airfield and I had the saddest mission in chaplaincy to go on it whn a baby had died on board
It is thanks to my wonderful mum and dad that I am able to realise this dream ..as such it's proved utterly overwhelming emotional..but absolutely beyond expectations champagne on arrival in my seat ...a lie flat bed ,quilt pillow, pyjamas, slippers and toiletries provided, a menu and wine list, food on plates with the heaviest silver cutlery . I had the best time with the crew who absolutely took on board it was a special experience.
Arrival in dubai at 1am meant I rediscovered the foot massage place math and I last used 20yrs ago ..dubai airport is insanely huge ..a lot of walking and a bus ride to the next equally fabulous business class flight . I had breakfast during the flight but the joys of time difference meant it was actually 5pm.on arrival in osaka
Osaka airport is immense..had to find the train station to activate my rail pass and another place to activate local WiFi....
I should have met with a meet and greet person but never.managed to.find them so solo mission started immediately
Had enough by this point and got a taxi..which was very expensive.
Hotel is nice..and the room number...1825 ...my mums birthday date (18/3/25) .....poignant!
Went out and found the Japanese Macdonalds equivalent...it was 9pm. But osaka was buzzing and lots of skateboarding happening 🙄
My room.is on the 18th floor
I'm 9hrs ahead of uk for now
Hopefully Iv set this up.to be interactive, please let me know , via WhatsApp if notRead more
