In Singapore Airport, still a little the worse for wear after the Six Nations party, I decided to take a shot of our bus to Sydney – the original “King of the Skies” – the Boeing 747-400. The first time I ever saw a 747, I was amazed at how big it was – 24ish years later, I’m still amazed. Although the interior of this particular one was looking dated, it’s an awesome machine. Just to put it’s size into context, that little winglet (sticking up at the end of the wing) is 1.8M (six feet) tall.

The Six Nations, the Triple Crown and the Grand Slam – what a day, what a night, what a headache. Ireland would have to win – with the specific purpose of sending Sí and I half way around the world with a hangover.

This is a wall with quotations from various authors in the Departures area of Dublin Airport. I can’t remember which particular author this wall was quoting – if anyone knows, be sure to let me know.
