Wat Phnom is next to the Hotel, looks ok from the balcony. Took me mate out to the genocide museum to cheer him up. Watched the footy drinking gin and tonic last night. Rough today, home tomorrow.

Found a cracking drop in the land of Trump at long last.

Its a Mexican brew called Pacifico. A crisp taste and perfect 4.4% strength for a pom drinking in the head 8-) :lol:

These Pacifico's are going down far too well. Remembered I'd hid a decent bottle of Tequila in the freezer that I'd not tried yet.

Had a wee shot for educational purposes. Smooth as a smooth thing, none of the cheap tequila burn. At this rate I'm worried I'll wake up outside Marj hotel in Cambodia 🇰🇭 :lol:

In Denver and enjoying several pints of 1554 from New Belgium Brewing Company.

Cracking drop. Dark but not guiness dark. Must say Colorado has a great beer scene. Much better than Florida.

Tsingtao Chinese beer in the Cathay Pacific lounge before boarding my 2nd leg of the Orlando to Udon epic journey.

I think I'm doing more miles than Philias Fogg!

Had a wee panick attack when I got a message saying the Orlando to Dallas leg was cancelled. 30 mins later I'd been re routed from Orlando to San Francisco (where i am know) and then head to Hong Kong where I'll pick up my original connection from Hong Kong to Bangkok.

The first flight to San Fran was with Alaska Air. The planes have a picture of some weird looking Eskimo on them. 5 hours 30 mins and not a single TV screen on the plane!

Do you use Bluetooth headphones on the plane?
If yes what do you use to connect to the IFE?
Speak politely.
Think however you like.

I normally use a cable to connect my noise cancelling headphones but lots of the newly updated or new planes now allow you to connect via Bluetooth.

Before I bought my latest noise cancelling headphones I bought a Bluetooth device that let's you connect air pods and other wireless headphones to the plane. Got mine from Amazon for under £10 and works quite well. Only issue is battery life is about 5 hours only so used to have to charge it mid flight sometimes.

Managed to share 3 large bottles of Chang with the wife in UD Town late afternoon yesterday before the jet lag hit. Lay down at 5pm and didn't get back up until 5am this morning!

Just had a double expresso before heading back to UD Town later to try again.

Hopefully will last a bit longer today.

Jeeeesus forgot the power of the chang. Head is still spinning. I blame Niggles for making me drink it all myself. Although Mrs Ham and Mrs Niggles did pitch in to help.

Ready for a hair of the dog :P
