Greetings from THE FUTURE
And so, our hero finds himself in the Air New Zealand lounge at 0500 in Auckland, NZ. It is TOMORROW here. I’m on my way to Sydney - I’m spending the next 3 weeks there on business. Let me just say for the record, Air New Zealand’s business class is freaking NICE. Seriously. A 4-something-hour flight in coach across the US seems much longer than the 12 hours I just spent in Fat Cat Class on a Sky Palace 747.
There’s only one thing I don’t quite understand so far on this trip: Why did we have to go through an additional set of security scans after disembarking from the SFO-AKL flight and going to the airline lounge? Are they looking for illicit fruit or something?
Update: I put up some photos from my office here in Sydney. The view totally rocks.
