⛱️ Pool Day Throwbacks
.
📸 Thinking of this time last month, during our stay at the incredible @mo_kualalumpur - lazing by the pool, looking at the KL Skyline, eating like it didn't matter (one month on, that might have been regretful 😂) and thinking about work for not even a moment.

Who else loves walking out to a plane like this?

Koh Lipe Lazy Days 🌊

📸 Take us back! Chilling out on a quiet beach last week on Koh Lipe Island, off the coast of Thailand and Malaysia - gradually becoming a shade of 'Cooked Lobster'. Don't worry, 5 days back in Ireland has easily undone all the sunburn 😁

☘️ Do-Nothing Weekends 🥂
.
📸 Pics from our recent, super-relaxing 2 night stay in the beautiful @powerscourthotel and gardens, in Wicklow.

Full review on the blog - first link in bio 👆
.
Highlights;
- Room was literally the size of a good apartment. We could literally allocate one wardrobe per item of clothing, and that's before we get to the living room or separate bedroom.
- Champagne afternoon tea! As you all know, I've never met a glass of champagne I didn't like...
- Gardens; hey, it can't be all pool time and champagne. We rented the complimentary bikes and burnt off at least 1/18th of breakfast...maybe.
.

Where have you been lately, and more importantly, was there champagne?

Pangkor Escapes 🌴 . 📸 More #Throwback mater

Pangkor Escapes 🌴
.
📸 More #Throwback material I'm afraid, from our super cheap and rapid trip to Pulau Pangkor back in 2020 - when we naively thought we should do a staycation in case travelling was getting a bit "dodgy". Little did we know...
.
Overall, this island was quite pretty, but 1 night/2 days was probably enough; it gets super quiet, the monkeys are incredibly aggressive and we didn't really get the memo in advance that the vibe was more about seafood than the beaches or really anything else.
.
Also, of particular sadness to myself, duty free status hadn't yet been conferred but was a few weeks away.
.
All the same, we did get around and see a few things on our rapid-fire tour of the island, and indulge in a fight with the local monkeys to have our belongings returned 😂

✈️ 4 Years Ago...
📷 This day 4 years ago, I - very much going for Son of the Year award - flew home from KL to Ireland for 3 nights to surprise my mother for her birthday 🤷‍♂️😁
.
Not only did this pretty much turn out to be the last international trip (hey, it was early 2020 after all...) for a very long time, aside from actually moving back to Ireland entirely in June 2020, it was also the last time I flew BA33/34 to and from KL to Heathrow, before it became an as-yet unrestored pandemic casualty.
.
On the return home, I even got a - serendipitous, and very well-timed - gate upgrade to BA's Club World, where I proceeded to get invited to a house party by my very over-talkative - and increasingly inebriated - seatmate 'Lang' (wonder where he is now), while reading in the paper the news about an emerging 'bug' in China - which I presumed would have no impact on our 2020 travel plans. Woops, turns out that was very wrong...
.
Tomorrow - this day last year, which was another day of travel and arguably even more dramatic...😂

(Throwback to August 2023 en route to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur enjoying as many glasses of wine - and that's MANY - as I could manage in the 40 minutes of flying time 😂)

One Summers Day 🚁
.
Serious Throwback to when Ireland - yes it feels unbelievable now - had summer 😂 Sure it was only two sets of 5 days each a month apart...but wasn't the summer season amazing when it happened? 🤣
.
Can't wait to exclusively cook every meal only by BBQ every day in a row once again 😁
.
Here we are cruising around the Clare coastline in a helicopter - as you do!
.
Happy Thursday - nearly at the weekend 😱🥂🎉

Bruges Evenings 🌞
.
Well, that's probably all the non-throwback pics from us done for the year because a) it's nearly Christmas and b) more importantly, we're broke after that year of travels 😂
.
So instead, enjoy this evening sunset #throwback to Bruges, back in September 🌙
.
Who's got any more trips planned for the year?

Early Morning Getaways ✈️
.
Here's a brisk early morning looking out onto the apron at @shannon_airport sometime ago; right after we peeled ourselves out of the lounge ahead of a very quick 1 day break (talk about efficiency) to London.
.
Ireland isn't exactly a haven for the "miles and points" collectors crowd, but this flight did see us both graduate to @aerlingus AerClub Silver, so at least we'll see a few more lounges - and associated cocktail hours 🤣 - for the next year.
