I've been here too long to have neglected to post in this thread, sorry
I lurked for years before actually registering, then I went back to lurking. I spend a lot of time here, though, and I've gotten so much from the collected wisdom here over the years, that lurking doesn't seem to be an option anymore.
Anyhoodle, here's my story...
My name is CC, and I was born in California. I live in Perth, Australia, having moved here to be with my husband (then fiancee). I was a baker/pastry chef in my old life, and traveled occasionally. Now I'm retired, and I travel much more. Although not nearly as much as most of the frequent flyers on here! Living where I do, pretty much any travel I do is long haul(!) - I get back to the US to visit 2 to 3 times a year. I mainly fly *A, SQ being my preference, but I'll venture out of my comfort zone for a good fare.
