First Class Wallow

OK so I managed to upgrade from Business to First Class to use up some points.  There is method to the madness here - going on a photography trip to the Arctic (or Antarctica) requires the packing of many items which normally I would not travel with.  These items are hefty, and if one wants to experience a fairly hassle free journey which is taking her around to the other side of the world, and up almost as far as she can go, it is worth going for the upgrade to ensure the extra luggage weight, both in check-in and carry-on.  That's my excuse, anyway.  It worked!

So the first thing I do after getting to my suite is of course have another glass of champagne. The journey really begins for me then!

It looks so cheery with all the lights on to greet you!
