October 31, 2004How many hours in a plane?I just took a picture out of the window trying to capture the sigh of a full moon above the winf of the aircraft. It looked amazing but I doubt the picture will come out very well, at least the...Read this update October 28, 2004The easiest pub quiz in the worldI spent last night at a pub quiz with my cousins Carmel, Karen and Clare and their respective partners and friends. Tonight will be a relaxing last night before I fly out tomorrow but it was nice to have a...Read this update October 25, 2004Maybe It's because I'm a Londoner......that I decided to take one more trip into the city. The day looked promising weather wise and I had mentioned to my Dad that I would meet him for lunch up at the Law Courts in Great Portland Street....Read this update October 24, 2004We Are FamilySong titles seem to make a regular appearance as titles for my blog entries. Today we have one from Sister Sledge. The family reference appears due to recent contact with some relatives in Australia. It would be terrible to go...Read this update October 22, 2004"Are ya packed!!"For my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary, pretty much our entire family travelled off to the west coast of Ireland to a little town called Doonbeg in county Clare where my grandfather grew up.

Not because I do not want to be in the UK, I am quite accustomed to the UK once more and even feel a little at home now I have been back...Read this update October 19, 2004So what is this travelling lark all about?When I tell people I am off to New Zealand and Australia for a few months I always get a positive response. However, I also get the obligatory "What are you going to do when you get back?". I haven't...Read this update October 18, 2004So many places, so little time...Flicking through my guide books the other day and noting "must see" locations it did not take long to realize that there are far too many places I would love to visit for the projected length of my stay. Too...Read this update October 15, 2004The Final CountdownApart from being a hit song for Europe back in the 80's, "The Final Countdown" is the heading for this blog entry as I am exactly 2 weeks away from boarding my first flight on what I hope to be...Read this update October 12, 2004With a little help from my friendsGuide books are ok. No, they are better than ok, much better. However, nothing is better than local knowledge and with this in mind I sent out a bunch of emails to some folks who are members of the Bootsnall...Read this update October 11, 2004The long awaited RTW...The deed is done! Today the RTW ticket was booked. It does not feel like a proper RTW ticket as I will only be visiting 3 countries over 3 months and not 15 countries in 12 months. Nevertheless it IS...Read this update October 08, 2004Final DestinationGetting my RTW ticket is proving a little more taxing than I had hoped. This is really for a couple of reasons. One, I am so bad at making decisions and two, although I have found a good deal online...Read this update October 02, 2004One step closerWhy do I sometimes do things at a snails pace?
