Last Preparations
This is a top pick! ... left me hanging somewhat since the weekend but it was worth it all the same. As I slept slightly uncomfortably through a warm night in Hemel (mainly down to nerves and not down to the heat I would hope) I pondered (good word) over the reason we are doing ...
UK Suburbia 101
... Edmonton friends. After several more drinks than either myself or my associate expected to have, we stumbled home along the streets of Hemel with our British mates, laughing as they sang loud and merry songs, stumbling beside us. Until finally, at one ...
Chilly in Hemel
... real friendship as the social butterfly does. In fact, the former probably appreciates it more. Anyway, enough thinking on this cold Hemel evening. I'll have to do enough of that tomorrow. Work went well. It doesn't seem half as intimidating as the ...
Hemel Hempstead, the Return!!!
Back in Hemel, this time in a better hotel. I have an internet connection, which wasn't there before... makes it feel like I'm not so far away after all. The Internet's an amazing thing that way. Sometimes the connectivity is a bad thing... makes it ...
On Breakfast and Binging
This just in: My condition is starting to clear up. The jetlag was forcing naps from 5-8pm, but I finally fought the nap off on Wednesday. With this, my body seemed able to better reset its digestive system. That and I laid off of these huge ...

A room with a view... a chilly view.
... go through the day with no naps. Body... get ready to reset. So after this, there's only one more night in my cozy Hemel hotel room. Friday, I'm going to be hustling to the station and then off to the: Generator Hostel. Drop stuff off there and then it's ...
Final Countdown...
... opportunity to go wrong. Today I went into Watford to run some errands and found that unbelievably I had gotten lost between Hemel and Watford (a route we drive twice a day, everyday!) This has, in itself, given me some concern for my navigational ...
2 days to go
D day is almost here, said some emotional farewells, had some fantastic leaving do's, got pretty much everything organised apart from my credit card (thank you HSBC). Trying out the Photo weaving functions with some photo's of my leaving ...
Dallas here we come
Things are finally starting to take shape. We've worked out a basic itinerary...or more, where we need to be to get to Dallas in enough time to do the State Fair - and booked the Dallas hotel. It looks...skanky! But not as skanky as the first one we ...

Project 'get an upgrade' has begun!
I've started the process of blagging us an upgrade for our flights, and I well and truly have my fingers crossed! Apparently there is no exact science to this, so I'm just trying everything I can an hoping for the best! Step one was put into action ...
Back on English soil
We're finally back on English soil, and this is the first post I've been able to make on a keyboard (rather than the phone) so it may be considerably longer and filled with many more typo's! I've been uploading photographs to these entries and Facebook ...
