Turning 23 in the sky

Emirates crew are awesome....surprised me on the flight with a special birthday cake and card in business class! What a great team and a birthday in the sky won't forget :)

The Dubai Stone

I am getting fat. I'm going to say Dubai is making me fat, but alas, its me. My eyes are bigger than my belly and i can't stop eating...especially on flights!!!! Ok so i may be exaggerating a bit when i say fat but i'm putting on weight. its this lifestyle!! When i moved here, there were all these roumers about 'the dubai stone' how you will put on a stone whilst living here. oh shiiiiiit I've already put on half a stone!!! Having said this, i did loose weight before i came here but honestly, I'm eating so unhealthy. When I'm on flights i eat a meal tray, (sometimes even two!!!) and i'll help myself to the magical 'dry stores' which is full of chocolates and biscuits all things delicious. Ohhh and the puddings. Shit its so bad. And thats just the flights, when I'm not working, I'm always out to dinner, or getting a take away. In fact, i just got a wagamama delivery. ON. MY. OWN...isnt that pathetic?! I've never ordered a takeaway on my own in my life!! Actually i don't think I've ever ordered a take away! It was taaaaassty though!!!! Ha i dunno what this particular blog is about I'm just having a moan cause my stomach is like a big bloated balloon. Its very sexy. Maybe i think that if i write it down for the world wide web to see (and my 26000 viewers...say whaaaaaat?!!) that i'll do something about this little (i mean big...fat) problem. If not, i'll just have to rename the blog 'Memoirs of a trolley wobbly'

I'm back..

...So its taken a rainy Dubai day for me to blog again. Im so sorry guys for not keeping you updated!! Ive just been using all my free time for much more important things like sunbathing and partying ;) Ok so i'm still being a little lazy but this will give you a little insight into my world of travelling and layovers so far! Its brief but its personal as its notes from my travelling journal. Every layover I've had to date i stick my luggage tag in my diary and write a little bit about what i did! Hopefully you can read my messy hand writing.. (also had to blur out a few bits which i can't put on the internet sorry!!)

Also I've had over 23000 views now so thank you so much! Love all your comments too! xx

Happy

I have been a very bad blogger i'm sorry for neglecting you all!! I have been having the absolute time of my life!! I can say without a doubt moving to Dubai and working for Emirates has so far been one of the best decisions I've ever made! The lifestyle that i have now is great, I love flying, the job is fun and i enjoy the social side of it working with loads of like minded individuals and also the passengers have been a pleasure! And then, after the work is over i stay in 4 star hotels all over the world and explore new places!! Not to mention all the time off i get in Dubai to go out, see friends and most importantly tan my pale british skin ha!! It really is such a great job and i am very happy!! So i'd say for anyone reading this, unsure about wether to take the big step to move to Dubai and work for Emirates...DO IT!!! Give it a go, travel the world and then if its not for you, you can always leave! Anyway... let me show you where I've been so far.....

I've Finished Aviation College!!

Wow I can't believe i've finally finished training!! Feel like I've been training forever and now its suddenly over! The last two weeks have been service training which is certainly was very different to SEP, GMT and Security training!! We had two theory exams which are computer based and we also have practical tests on the simulators where we do "flights" to London Heathrow, Ahmedabad and Sydney. They are actually a lot of fun, we serve our colleges as we would any passenger, serve them drinks (no alcohol obviously!!), hot meals, snacks, afternoon tea, croissants and all that jazz....!!

Ive only had this blog a few months and already had over 10,000 hits! Thanks guys you are awesome!! Also big love to everyone for your kind comments i really appreciate it!! I only have 3 days of training left now! Cant wait for my first flight! I promise to keep you all updated on my adventures and will do my best to answer all your questions!! Lots of love x

My First Roster!

This weekend I got my first roster for when i start flying in March!! SO EXCITING!! My first two flights will be supy flights where I go on both A380 and B777. On soupy flights you work as more of an assistant so you can see how everything works and help out if the other crew need anything! Then thats it all your flights following this will be operational! EEEK not long now!!

Ok so without further ado, my supy flights will be to Dhaka in Bangladesh (turnaround) and Munich (layover). My operational flights for March will be Paris, Munich, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and London Heathrow!!! Yeaaaah so excited to go back home to see my family and friends and get more of my belongings to bring out to Dubai! Also whats exciting about my LHR flight is that I'm 'deadheading' on it, so this means i will be travelling as a passenger one way and working the return (or vice versa)! and fingers crossed if I'm lucky my mum and sister will be on the same return flight to Dubai with me!! Only 5 days left of training college now!
