I've flown almost 110,000 miles in 2011. Of those, only the 20,000 miles shown below have been unrelated to work.
A few weeks into 2012, I'm swapping the job that has generated 90% of 2011's travel for a new role, based entirely in London. Clearly, this means a lot less in the way of flights to write about. In all probablility, there will be more discretionary travel in the coming years, but that's not going to come close to the milage I've been doing since 2008, so the content of this blog is going to be substantially re-balanced.
That's probably a good thing - I fear the last six months haven't offered up anything too interesting for the few of you that follow these random musings. In theory, spending fewer weekends waiting for conncting flights means much more time for eating out in London, exploring the UK and weekend breaks in Europe; I'll try and post about the most interesting things we stumble across.
In the mean time, I still have a slight backlog of posts to catch up on, so January should include, amongst other things, reviews of Etihad business class and Thai's First Class Spa in Bangkok.
The last few years of travel (see below) have been interesting, but I think most of us reach a limit of tolerance when it's best to quit. Somewhere, about eighteen months ago, all the cities, airports and hotels started to lok and feel identical. I'm hoping that by cutting right down on the amount of travel I do, I'll start to enjoy it again.
