Wow – this really is the way to fly. A cab direct to the airport (45mins), check-in (no queue and 2 mins), security (no queue and 5 mins). That usually takes me about 3 hours when I’m traveling normally!!

Now safely camped in the business class lounge, sipping New Zealand red wine – thankfully its not French… The only had the England game on the telly down here but they flashed up the Scotland score halfway through the second half… 1-nil to Scotland!!! I have to admit I jump from my seat, pumped and fist in the air and shouted “YES, YA BEAUTYY!!!”…. then suddenly remembered where I was and tried to sneak back to my seat. Do you think anyone noticed or are the dirty looks I’m getting now just paranoia? ;-)

Scotland, 3 games played, 9 points – who would have thunk it???

If the trip carries on like this then I’m gonna have a great time!
