Korean Air - Seoul to Los Angeles



Airline #71. This was my first time flying in business class on a 747. I really wanted to sit upstairs but it didn't happen :( I didn't get to sit in the nose either. I had never been quite sure how seating was arranged on a 747 but on Korean Air at least it's like this; 12 first class seats in the nose, and 24 business class seats upstairs, all in rows of two on both sides of the aisle, and then a bunch of rows of business class seats downstairs after first (that's where I was).

Getting home from The Seychelles

There is no such thing as "the perfect beach" - Mahe Island, Seychelles



Baie Lazare

Okay, so I visited The Seychelles, home of the most photographed beach in the world. You would expect to see lots of pictures of beaches here in this post right? What a lousy time to get burned out, but burnout is exactly what happened and searching for beaches wasn't high on my priorities. I also got physically sick and didn't have the energy to go around all of the island or to the nearby islands. Still it wasn't a complete disaster, I did find some really nice beaches.



When the first beach you go to looks like this then maybe it's actually a good time to get burned out. I mean, why leave? Why look for anything else? This is Anse Major and it takes either a boat or a really enjoyable hike to get here, and there are not many people around.
