Good morning #Dubai.

A quick stroll around the French concession. Xintiandi in Shanghai.. narrow lanes full of boutiques, eateries and bars. .. #China

Good morning #NewYork! This time from the TWA terminal in JFK.. Quick run to Brooklyn for bagels and coffee then back to JFK for my flight this afternoon

Love the Chase Sapphire lounge in @JFK airport. It's also used for @etihad Buisness and First class passengers. The lounge has an app you use to order food and drinks like cocktails etc to the table.

Good morning Beijing! A quick trip through the city and Tiananmen Square which is getting ready for a military parade in a few days. Past the CCP headquarters too.. now at the airport to board my flight to Shenzhen.

Off to the airport again. 5 flights and a bullet train are in my future over the next 9 days.. Meetings will be back to back most days but evenings for cocktails, food and exploring…. China. 🐼🇨🇳🎍

It’s here! My “Green Monstah” cap has arrived all the way in Abu Dhabi. This year’s City Connect for Boston is great. City greens! Let’s go #RedSox.

Enjoying some Argentinian Malbec. Finishing up my Pinot and she’ll be unleashed. A 2022 Catena Zapata.. this #Wine is just wonderful.

What a lovely evening in the capital. Summer is on the way out in the next few weeks and the cities come alive again after the summer break. #AbuDhabi 🇦🇪

Hello from one of my fav cafes in Paris. I’m in the 11th heading to the 12th for a “green walk” and the back for my FAV wine place in Paris Le Baron Rouge. Check in later!

Good morning #Paris

Exploring Notre Dame in #Paris now that’s it’s re-opened. First in and there appears to be a service on when it opens at 8am on a Friday.

Good evening #AbuDhabi Lovely sunset tonight

Sitting on the grass in Square du Temple, sipping an ice-cold beer on a summer afternoon, I was surrounded by the local crowd. After, I went to get a baguette and a flan, then headed home to Belleville on the metro.

Lunch time onboard Etihad EY32 CEG-AUH. Caviar, then burrata followed by the cod. Will skip the desert and have a steak and prawns later before landing. The Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame is hitting perfectly though im about to change over to the Pinot Grigio. #AvGeek

This little Bluetooth transmitter for flying is so good. Can use my airpod pro’s with the IFE for planes that aren’t yet BT enabled natively. Great little travel hack. 14 hours of transmit makes it super versatile and charging via USB-C. #AvGeek

Have just been informed there is a delay out of CDG due to an incoming flight bird strike. So many of the jets are now waiting and holding short of the runway.

Decisions decisions. Etihad’s menu today for CDG-AUH #AvGeek

One of the best uses of green spaces in big cities is already repurposing old train lines. The Promenade plantée René-Dumont in Paris is exceptionally nice. Tens of KMs of quiet; lush greenery.

Back in CDG T1. Etihad moved back here from T2e a few months back. The new lounge agreement with Extime is great. If you’re in F you’ll get into the VIP salon part with your own outdoor area and smaller more private lounge #AvGeek

Bonjour #Paris. From Sacre Coeur this morning, in before security starts and to get the sunrise..

A quick stop in Monceau park #Paris. With craft beers and some shopping in hand. Picnic beers on the grass can’t be beat! On to Luxembourg park next!

A quick trip out to Bois de Vincennes in #Paris to enjoy the greenery. It is indeed, the lungs of Paris. Acres and acres of both manicured gardens and wild growth. An incredible place to wonder and “forest bathe” Japanese style.

Drink locations this evening in #Paris. All within 200 metres of each other. Who recognises this wonderful slice of calm right in the centre of Paris?

Current situation. #Paris pints.

Bonjour from Sceaux. A wonderful garden and chateaux South of #Paris.

Beers in the gardens of #Paris.

Home for the next week in #Paris.

Breakfast onboard. Through CDG (Paris) fast. Now on the RER and metro going to the apartment. #travel

Take off time! See you in Paris!

Dinner time. Etihad you’ve outdone yourselves again for the First Class service on the ground. 👏🏼

Massage done. Now dinner time!

The Etihad First lounge has a great little secluded section at the back with the comfiest chairs. This is THE place to hang out at night as there is no view of the apron. Spa booked. Then dinner!

On the way to Abu Dhabi airport… my flighty app pings me the inbound Etihad A388 from London is delayed. More time in the first class lounge then I guess..

Morning #AbuDhabi!

Time to pull some espressos (and make a cortado) #coffee

Hello world!. Some F1 replays and IPAs onboard.

Pints and Lions tour time

A lovely dinner at Em Sherif Sea in the Rosewood Hotel Abu Dhabi. A wonderful laid back but well appointed vibe. Starters of cold mezze, mutabbal, a cabbage and seafood salad plus sauted shrimp, Mains, a whole French sea bass, salt baked and portioned tableside. Washed down with Rosé

A butterfly effect cocktail and steak sandwich onboard Etihad. Might watch some live sport on Sport24 too 👏🏼🍻🛫 #travel

A milky sky tonight in #AbuDhabi UAE 🌇🇦🇪 A humid glow is casting a wonderful pastel haze over downtown as the sun sets.

The US Soft power is drying up by the day… and now I fear for @pbsnews.org and @npr.org

Here we go! Some @nokia.bsky.social Beacon 19 WiFi 7 routers ready for testing. #tech

Here we go! Time to give Comet a go from the team behind @perplexity A new AI powered web browser

Going to be giving some new Nokia WiFi 7 routers a spin over the next few weeks. They look phenomenal. Will post some thoughts over the next few days.

Looks like Casio has brought back their iconic watch as a ring for its 50th anniversary. Haha I know a few geezers who would love this.. it’s the CRW-001 if you’re interested 🤣😂⌚️

A very zoomy fibre connection is always appreciated. This is on an XGS FTTH fibre connection. What speeds do you have and where are you located?

Dinner tonight at The Edition Hotel Abu Dhabi… The Oak Room is such a wonderful setting and the menu and execution is flawless and effortless. King crab salad to start and a dry aged 21 day black Angus T-Bone for mains.

New coffee has arrived! Ready to dose for the week ahead.
