      Finally made it back. Wednesday morning 0001 here. Left Manchester on Monday!!

      @ROman the A350-900 is a great plane. The new avionics and tech on the plane are fantastic. Makes the older planes look stupid. My connecting flight was a A330-300 which is an old plane. I love the 350 but at the end of the day it’s still a single deck, unlike the 380 which is my favourite..

        Maddy's biometrics appointment for her visa is on Monday in Osaka… I (My company) paid for the über expensive "VIP Diplomat" service, which means there should be about a 5 day turn around. She should be here in the next 2-3 weeks, at most.

        Unfortunately, I didn't realize the timeline would be so short, so I opted to turn down the new job and stay with my current employer with hopes of getting her here faster. Still fine by us. We're missing out on multiples of $10k annually, but it's worth the peace of mind.

        I'm calling the prospective employer tonight to follow up and see if they would still be interested in hiring me in 6months.

        WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

              Oh… @Giles she's been instructed to bring surprise souvenirs, and a bottle of fine sake for our inevitable trip to Gosport after she arrives...

              She hasn't even meet you guys, and is already in love lol!

                    Well, we have some minor plans penciled in, but Christmas at Iron Heart sounds AMAZING!

                    We'll definitely make it to Gosport before that tho!

                            I landed back in Melbourne around 8 pm local last night, so a few hours ahead of @louisbosco. However, the flight was in less exciting hardware, A330-300s on both legs.

                            Not much to report from the journey, except I've been puzzled by what a non-parabolic height is. 🙂

                            @UnTucked I remember comparing notes about visas and partners at the Kanreki. Glad to hear that Maddy's is being expedited, and you'll be reunited soon. Incidentally, my girlfriend got hers through last week, and is landing in Melbourne at early o'clock on Friday morning. 🙂

                                Great news, @Graeme - wishing you a very happy reunion.  You, too @UnTucked - we should talk dates sooner rather than later as Giles is effectively away from early November to mid December…!  :o

                                  Thanks @UnTucked and @Madame Buttonfly. Looking forward to seeing her again.

                                  However, she's very sensitive to the cold, so I might have to get an IH blanket for her. 😉

                                        She said, "I definitely do." 😛

                                        I just have to hope that the weird dream I had last night, where @Giles refused to sell me any more IH gear (can't remember why) doesn't come true. 🙂

                                        Oh, and thanks @rocket. Incidentally, the straps on my backpack are already feeling a bit thinner. You might be right about it.
