Oman Air Milan to Muscat. I haven’t flown their latest long haul product and the price was just right. Service was just OK (several mix ups with missing items, wrong items and service order) but the product is quite nice. I skipped both part of the dinner and the entire breakfast. In a few minutes we will most likely enter the very same plane and head on to Malaysia and Borneo.
Central Milan.
Eggs Benedict (great flavors and texture), lobster omelette with caviar and assorted bakery items at the Park Hyatt Milan.
The Eggs Benedict are among the best i ever had.
The usual cake got replaced by a molten chocolate cake (vegan) with raspberry sauce this week. Next week I might finally put the Graham crackers to good use.

The French BMW 4 series comes with an emergency bottle holder in the trunk.
It’s a new month. This means it’s time for a new menu at the Concorde Room at Heathrow.
So apparently it’s possible to drive 9596 miles in a single day in LA traffic. Luckily Avis didn’t charge per mile.
It’s August 2017 and a bank sent me a CD with their terms of service and supplementary documents. The only device I have at home that could read such an antique media is the Playstation 3 which itself is on the way out the door.
The last two weeks I spent on a trip round the world: 14 flights totaling more than 41,000 miles with stops in Cape Town, Guangzhou, Jakarta, Sydney, Santiago de Chile, Los Angeles and New York.
It’s been a lot of fun but I am also glad that I am home. Most of the stuff went just as planned but there were some things that require a follow-up with the airlines/hotels.
Dinner at the New York Concorde Room before the flight home.
The moral imperative when in Los Angeles: watching planes land at LAX airport from the In-n-Out while having a burger.
