BANGKOK TO DUBAI TO MUNICH ON EMIRATES FIRST CLASS

A 6:15AM pickup at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, two hours in the Suvarnabhumi Airport first class lounge, first class flight from Bangkok to Dubai, then after two hours in the airline first class lounge, a second AirBus 380,   largest passenger liner in world , from Dubai to Munich, a total period of around 20 hours.  Basically, we had to wake up at 4:45AM in Bangkok, and did not get to the Munich Westin Grande Hotel until 3:15AM ( or 9:15PM Munich time--there is a 6 hour difference ). This was the ultimate in luxury, and a prime example of too much of a good thing. First, Emirates picks us up at our Bangkok hotel and drops us off at our Munich hotel.  Nice. The Emirates Bangkok first class airline lounge early in the morning has the full complement of food and drinks. First class on an Air Bus 380 features unlimited caviar and high end champagne/scotch, like Dom Perignon, Johnny Walker Blue and Dalmore. The TV screen is huge, video/audio selections immense and a door blocks you off

TWO GRAND SUPPERS

 The hot topic across the USA is March Madness, also known as the Big Dance Each of the men's and women's bracket features 63 games.  Men start today and women tomorrow. No favorite in the men's side, but South Carolina women will almost surely prevail.  Watch to see what Florida Gulf Coast does.  In the past five years, 19 of 20 final four berths went to seeds 1 and 2. The player to watch is Caitlin Clark of Iowa.  She makes 3-point shots from near the half court line. If you want a long-shot for men's, pick San Diego State, Creighton, Tennessee or Providence.  Princeton always surprises. Your chances of getting all 63 games right is 9.2 quintillion to one.  No one has ever been officially recorded to succeed since the beginning of time. Which beer should you drink?   Click on this.   Hawaii has no chance against LSU, but The Athletic says try 337 blueberry blond lager of Adopted Dog Brewing from Lafayette.  The brewery just opened, so this would be a first for anyone.
