Good Morning from Toronto.
After many many months of planning we are off and running. A big thanks to Mark for getting up at that ungodly hour to drive us to the Bundaberg International Airport and a big tk u to the rubber band on what is called a qantas flight LOL.
We arrived in Syd to be greeted by the Stamford having totally ignored our room request and so war was declared and a lesson on how to run an accommodation venue (and yes this is suppose to be a 5 star hotel) was entered into. Us 1 them 0.
Sunday morning arrived and it was off to international for the preflight business. Lots of people in uniforms running around enjoying their 5 seconds of power, but after surviving many searches we were in. Off to the Air NZ lounge for breakfast and await our call.
Welcome to the pointy end LOL. We both had mini suite which came with personal 15 inch TV, power for lap tops , socks etc etc etc etc and lots and lots of champagne. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah bliss.
We ended up in 5A and 6A and as you can see it didn't take Ron long to get into the swing of the next 19 hours. Yes, that is a glass of bubbly sitting there. LOL
We arrived in reasonable good condition and headed out for dinner. Off to Charles st which is the local Gay village and only about 4 blocks from our hotel and it just turned out that it was the last day of the Leather Pride weekend (and neither of us for the first time had any leather with us), so it was off to Toronto Eagle for a drink and introduce ourselves to the locals.
Dinner was great at an old mansion and they were doing Maine lobster special for the weekend so we had to indulge. Lag eventually caught up and it was off to the hotel bar for a quick night cap and then a good nights sleep.
Day 1 ends.

Just glad you finally discovered after many years, that there is more in a plane that cattle class LOL LOL LOL
stop with the photos of the pointy end of a plane and complimentary champagne
dont tell me about hi-end hotels and michelin star restaurant meals: I can not relate to any of it...and I think your friend Hans is wrong - there is ONLY cattle class- its just the pilots that sit in the pointy end and they are not watching flat screen tv's - they are really instrument panels!!!
Di, you are almost right, at the pointy end of the plane sits the pilot and so far, "as far as I can remember" I never sat before him, and if I would have, I never will tell you LOL But just behind the pilot is a small section, and if I`m the only cow in there I call it the "Pointy end" depends of course on the stewart LOL But then again you get a crew without male flight attended, then its cattle class all the way LOL LOL
One to Hans
