Sitting in the Pier at HKG at the moment waiting for the last flight of my RTW, CX to NRT. Disappointed that Expert Flyer's promise of a new-J 744 on this flight turned out to be bogus, but it is what it is. Later today on an award JL flight to YVR then the ignominy of Horizon's puddle jumper back to SEA, where wife,

dog

and letters of interest from extenders of credit

await.
I have more thoughts and ruminations in draft, composed in Oz and NZ over the past few days. I'll post them when they're laundered.
