OMG - I'm married to a pilot!!

My husband is a pilot....amazing what those few words manage to conjure up in the general publics imagination:

To women, it's most often the image of a hunky man dressed in uniform, flying a huge metal machine through the air at break neck speeds. Men with enough good looks, money and charisma that they are able to have a girlfriend (and apartment) in every "ooh, I wish I lived there" city in the world.

To men, it's most often the image of sitting in command of a huge chunk of flying metal, doing very little bar biding ones time between coffee services from a string of gorgeous looking air hostesses in  pencil skirts so tight the rest of us women wonder how they are able to walk straight.

Everyone is blogging now days - there are blogs by people who have moved country, blogs by people who have recently become single, blogs by new mothers, blogs on fashion and beauty tips...blogs, blogs, blogs - they are everywhere, covering every subject and with a with an overload of useful hints and tips. So if you are one those people - looking for a blog to give you advice on your new country, new baby, new marriage etc - this is the wrong blog.

To be blatantly honest - this is a blog created partly out of boredom, partly out of my horrific lack of communication to friends and family, and partly to try and educate people so that I can stop having to explain my 'bizarre lifestyle' to new individuals I meet, who assume my husband has the most glamorous, easy, well paid and fun career in the world! This is not a blog to slate aviation but rather to debunk some of the myths regarding the lives of those in the industry. So take your seats and prepare for take-off, it may be an interesting eye opener for many!
