End of the 1st week !

Happy belated July 4th to all! apologies for the late response!

ok so a quick update, its been a week since I last updated you all on what has been happening with me.

I landed in Egypt with my girl and over the last few days we been chilling and hanging out.

Sipping champagne, with Disarrono, by the pool feel dangling in the water , under the stars - the simple life really :)

It has been cool hanging with her, the weather has been awesome, so we have been pampering ourselves and enjoying what sunny Sharm El Sheikh has to offer.

So its time for her to go home and we said our goodbyes at her hotel.... so imagine my surprise when she called me from the airport to say that she couldnt find her passport...

I had to make a mad rush across Sharm El Sheikh to rescue my girl, we finally got the passport to her , but she had missed the flight as they had closed the gate. So my girl gets to spend another night with me in Sunny Sharm until we can get her in a flight tomorrow ... yipeee

Arrival at the Airport .......

Now for those who travel on the occasional trips each year, you will know its hard to pack, as you feel you have to take everything including the kitchen sink :)

I am no different, except I am doing my trip for 5 weeks, so there are some essentials that I will need !

However airline carriers now want to charge a fortune and lower the baggage allowance, what is that ???????

So needless to say I was over weight and I had to pay extra, but then I was only allowed one piece of hand luggage rather than the 2 I had, ( one which was my handbag)

To top it all I had to force it all in one bag. Before I could get on the plane :( that just wasn't sexy!

Then to make matters worse the flight was uncomfortable, as it was 5 hours long on a cramped package airline.... I wasnt impressed , Richard Branson needs to get on this route and make it happen.....

Upgrading - Travelling in style !

hey there all,

Travelling is FUN!

It is always better when we get to travel in style as it make the experience more exciting and lets face it comfortable

So let me give you a few of my trade secrets that has worked for me in the past whilst I have been travelling.

We all love to travel in style, I have yet to meet one person who doesn't, and it is something that is achievable without having a great deal of money, and is best reflected by your approach as a person and how you react / deal with situations.



Below is a few simple tips that I have used that has worked for me :

1. remember when travelling to look the part, wear something that is flattering and easy to travel in, but also that can be easily fit into place in business class or even first class


2. have one piece of designer carry on, that looks expensive it doesn't have to be, it just needs to look like good quality product.


3. walk with confidence- a certain air of aloofness, but not too much arrogance


4. smile - that is the best assets that will work in your favour


5. select one check in booth and focus on that person, be friendly , but with an attitude that you are a seasoned traveller


6. whilst checking in make eye contact and have a friendly conversation, enquire as to whether the flight is full, play on the fact that this is your first flight to that particular destination and how excited you are etc.
7. personalised your interaction with the check in staff, looking at body language as to how receptive they are with you
8. ask the direct question as if the flight isn't full what are the chances of you getting an upgrade, do this in a humorous and exciting way - remember this is your first trip.
