It was a very quick and rushed trip to New York. It seems that I never have enough time there to do everything that I would like to do. I had a great time hanging out with my mate Jim there and running around Manhattan. I included New York in this trip for what some would say was a bit of a silly reason. I wanted one last ride on the Qantas 747 before they stop it’s service between LAX and JFK airports in July. It will be replaced with a smaller A330 plane (a continuation service from New Zealand). These 747s are getting quite old now and I would imagine that Qantas will start getting rid of them soon. This was the last 747 service from LA to New York. Sadly the crew operating this service were not a happy bunch.
Now that I am at home and back at work I am trying to work out how I can getting another long break to travel the world. I have very few holidays left at work, so I may have to be a little creative.

The 747 is a GREAT aircraft from the passengers’ point of view. I have fond memories of many long Pacific flights to Australia and Hong Kong in them.
Phillip, i think you should seriously buy an old 747 and live in it ..

This would be amazing, it’s insulated, lots of room to live in, space for a studio ..
