And, as you can imagine, Willard was a bit of a "hit" with the First Class cabin crew, who knew a discerning bear of real character when they saw one!

Safety First! Willard straps himself into his seat during the flight, after all, turbulence is no laughing matter, and though Willard is getting to be a "Frequent Flyer", he'd rather not be flying round the cabin if the Captain hits some clear air turbulence at 35,000 feet!

A birthday cake, birthday card signed by the crew, and chocolates, Willard is feeling an exceptionally lucky bar today! (and for those who are counting, yes, that will make the second birthday cake...)

After arriving at the Sheraton Grande Sukhimvit in the centre of Bangkok and checking into his suite, Willard can't wait to get out to the "Sala" on the 3rd floor and hit the Jacuzzi!

Finding this boat, Willard suddenly finds himself having an "Apocalypse Now" style flashback. "Bangkok - S***, I'm still only in Bangkok...... I asked them for a Contract, and, for my sins, they gave me one - sent it up like room service, and I'd never ask them for another...."
