Day# 1

I asked her a night before and she said she can’t imagine how that would be like. I asked myself to have the same answer; I can’t imagine how that would be like!
Butterflies in stomach!!
We woke up 0630 to start at 0800 from home to catch the flight at 1155. We had no idea where we were going and what we were about to experience.
We started clicking random pictures as soon as we reached the international terminal. We have 2 complete GB pictures to click. We got the lounge access coupons. I handed them to her as we lined up for security check in.
After the security check in we find our way to the lounge when I asked her for the coupons. Instead of coupons she found a used boarding pass in her pocket. The name was Malvendra Chanani. We were completely stunned and laughing like hell. We anyhow went to the lounge and managed (of course) our way in.
Inside was beautiful. All different types of cornflakes, fruits, juices, beers. It was too early of the day for a beer. I opened a pint and started to swallow Kingfisher. She had flavored yoghurt. She liked it.


We boarded into the flight and being tired from last night, slept immediately. It was business class, nice and comfortable. We decided to keep the blanket and traveler kits. I wanted to keep those headphones too but she said a no. We woke up and had the lunch. It was not too bad. I started with the champagne. The only fact I know about champagne was they charged it $8 a peg when you travel in economy class. So no matter which brand it is or what time it is, when it’s free, just drink.
The airhostess asked for the blanket on our way out. I said, ‘Yeah, we have decided to keep it!’

We landed Thailand International airport and ran to our lives to catch the connection to Sydney. We realized that Thailand airport is really huge. We boarded into the flight and crashed straight away. We grabbed two more traveler’s kit and now no more space was left in our bag.
The Sydney airport is beautiful. It’s a strip extended into water. We saw the lonely planet outlet at the transit. We clicked some other pictures and sat by the side of the departure gate, we were too tired.
We slept as soon as we boarded the Sydney- Christchurch flight. It was economy class for her and upgraded to business for me. I gave my seat up and went to sit with her. A man was really happy to be sent to business from economy. We were happy too.
