A couple of months earlier, a trip to Italy was created and it was mostly dedicated for Aman Canal Grande in Venice. Along the way, Shangri-La London suddenly announced its opening date; which prompted me to change my flight to London. I was initially on a A380 First Class Suite, but due to last minute change to London on the particular time and date I wanted, I could only settle for a First Class seat onboard its new Boeing 777-300ER.
Initially I thought it would be great to try out its newly revamped First Class seat by BMW designers; but much to my horror, there was a sudden change in schedule, and we were all onboard the older First Class cabin, much to the annoyance of the cabin crew too.
Feeling extremely disappointed, I managed to console myself by convincing that the flat bed is wider than the A380 suite bed; and after hours onboard, it was very comfortable.
The nightmare continues, as the stay at the Shangri-La London was quite underwhelming and did not live up to my expectation; and ironically Aman Canal Grande in Venice has proven to be a disappointment too. Its architecture is easily among the most impressive among all the 7 Amans I have stayed, but the service was the worst among all. Fortunately, along the way on the Road to Venice, I managed to encounter some lifetime experiences in Milan.

It is very rare to be able to find a passenger cabin of an old Boeing 707. The forward section of El Al's first jet, built in 1961, is preserved at the Cradle of Aviation Museum.
At the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, a great place to visit. www.grizzlydiscoveryctr.org/
