It's wrap up time for my Last trip of 2023 to Europe and Abu Dhabi. Admittedly, this trip had been booked around a particular aspirational birthday flight. But exploring the Benelux areas (Belgium, Amsterdam and Luxembourg) in Europe are equally satisfying! The entire trip turns out to be so much better than expected. If you've spent anytime to read through the trip, Thank You! If you haven't and...

Flying Home

Today I start my journey home! After waking up and spending a bit of time packing, I head down to the restaurant for another excellent breakfast! Instead of describing the breakfast from yesterday, I do want to highlight how happy I am that many of the Middle Eastern hotels seem to offer a wide variety of fresh juices. Those that know me know I'm a huge sucker for watermelon juice and I am super...

Coincidentally the Yas Marina Circuit is home to one of these F1...

Earlier in the year Etihad First Class Apartments seats became bookable and I am lucky enough to book one for my birthday!

My plan today is to do a day trip to Luxembourg. So bright and early I head to the train station to catch one of the first trains down to Luxembourg. With a coffee in hand I settle in for the three hour journey. It isn't too crowded so I'm able to find a comfortable group of seats to myself. Upon arriving at Luxembourg's train station, I hop on a tram that takes me into the centre of the city....
