I just landed in Singapore and I'm always blown away by the sheer number of ships in the bay.
I'm excited because I'm just a few kilometers away from being upgraded to a Silver card frequent flyer! I know many gold and platinum members but I've never been one myself. This last leg brought me to the crux, the next leg puts me over!
By my estimation, I should be passing over Dubai (in about 8 hours) when they'll have to pull the airplane over so the pilot can come back and issue me my new card. I expect they'll have dancers and a pyro-technics show, but I'm keeping my expectations in check.
From now on, it's a life of priority check-in lines, lounge access, premium seats and one extra item of carry-on luggage. I'll look all snooty and self important as I board before the other passengers while flight attendants call me by name, passing me wine and caviar in the boarding bridge.
Life is good! It's clearly the little things that keep me going.

About Me
- Mike
- Brisbane, QLD, Australia
- Originally from Canada, I grew up in a small frozen prairie town called Innisfail, Alberta before moving to Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island, finally getting my fishing boat. In a never ending quest to beat my sister to at least one country in my life, I've travelled to Japan, Hong Kong, China, England, Germany, France, Italy and Brazil most recently taking a much needed rest in Brisbane, Australia, for the past year. In October of 2008 my left ankle was crushed in a motor vehicle accident. This is the creepy part: after eleven surgeries, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at approximately eleven in the morning my left leg was amputated below the knee. I won't say that I lost my leg; it's not like I misplaced it; but I am in the market for a new one.
