1st January 2008 has to go down as the longest New Year's Day in my life. I was happily watching the firework display at Marine Bay Singapore on the TV in the departure lounge, when we had a public announcement. The First Officer of our flight had become dramatically ill when he turned up to duty. Our flight was postponed until the following day. At 2.30am I was safely in a hotel bed. The airline were amazing (hats off to Qantas). The next day we arrived in Europe to be met by further delays because it was too late to board any flights. Another overnight stop.
But hey, I've had two half nights sleep and two showers I didn't expect, so I ain't complaining.
