Four Continents and 37,000 Miles in Two Weeks: Qantas A380 first class and much more!
Hi Folks:
Just a couple of weeks ago I got back from a pretty fun combination of award tickets that took me all over the globe, including flights in Singapore business class, Qantas A380 first class, Air New Zealand business class, Sri Lankan business class, and more. I visited Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, Melbourne, and Vienna, and sampled several hotels in the above cities.
I'm writing a detailed trip report with tons of pictures on my blog, and I'll update the text below as the links become active, for anyone interested.
If you have any questions or comments just let me know. Thanks for reading!

Great report! Any chance we can get more than one segment per day? A holiday inn express review can only hold my interest for so long

Thanks for the comments, folks!
Trust me, I wish I had a time to. An installment like the Singapore Airlines one I just posted take about 10 hours between writing the review, uploading and resizing the pictures, and then placing them in the actual post. I wish I had that kind of time every day to dedicate to a trip report. But I'll certainly do my best on days where the installments aren't as "exciting."
