Blenheim Lakeside Hotel Liverpool

... br>All being well we'll have managed to cram our worldly possessions into a combined 155 litres of rucksack without too many arguments over whether Clarins Face Products are classed as "essential" and also with a bit of luck our baggage will have made it's way onto the same aeroplane as us : ) and we'll be winging our way to London, next stop Bangkok! <br><br>A&amp;Px<br>

After 3 years of saving we are finally set to go travelling to Eastern and Southern Africa. We will arrive in Uganda and head to Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Victoria Falls and possible Madagascar before flying back in June 2010.

<br>Ah, I have been falling behind in my updates. My weeks have been a little busy as of late due to one test, the discovery of Farmville, never returning to netball, and the true experience of English culture in the form of various bar crawls. I&#8217;m a very busy girl&#8230;<br><br>I can&#8217;t remember where I last left off and due to the lack of wireless Internet cannot access the update in my kitchen. I suppose I&#8217;ll ...

Well I am happy to report that despite postal strikes I have my passport back and a multiple entry visa stamp inside.<br>I was so relieved to have the passport back.I really do not like to be parted from it.<br>All I have to do now is get through the next 4 weeks at work.Oh well I am sure I will manage.<br>Bye for now.

... they decided the Manchester flight would go from gate 7, which wasn't really a gate but a cunning set of stairs disguised as a gate. This lead to a bus that drove all the way round the airport to an Airbus 320 with 'Star Alliance' seemingly crudely stenciled on the side (they really do need to hire a graphics designer). We had to climb up steps in the rain to the aircaft too - no civilised departure fingers for us BMI monkeys. We were ...

... to Joan Baez talk about how she thought it wasn't right or healthy for the kids to idolize and obsess over artists of the period, namely Mr. Dylan, but then I'm there sitting in bed thinking, what am I doing in Liverpool- I'm idolizing The Beatles- Joan would not approve! But then I rationalized all night long that I came to experience all of Britain and this was part of it, so I picked up and moved on to the Magical Mystery Tour which ...

Well I should be getting my shorts and T-shirts ready or at least have a bag to pack them into - but I have not. I don't go for another 5 days and I am still debating about getting travel insurance - should I / shouldn't I? I have not even ironed my clothes and Val (the ironing lady) is away I think so that's a no go. I will try and document each day of the holiday for those of you who can be bothered reading it. I mean I am no Shakespeare at the ...

Greetings Had a great breakfast and a little bit of a sleep in. The Hotel is great and I see the charges are £340.00 per night for a twin room. We are here for two nights and our tour only cost about A$1600.00. The accommodation has been terrific throughout and I cant see how Cosmos makes their money. Not my problem though is it. Our accommodation had two rooms. A bath room with the toilet and this room was paced out by me at 3mtrs x 2.5mtrs. It was huge and had a marble floor ...

... Its the big 2-9 in just over a week and I'm thinking that my Mum and Dad are hoping that after this trip I'll get this silly travelling bug out of my system and settle down and have lots of little me's for them to baby sit then give back once there starting to get on there nerves I daren't tell them that this is only the beginning and after Nz, its going to be Aus again, Asia, Canada, the US and then South America. My Mum would probably say 'so what do ...

... something that interested me no end: Liverpool and their fierce local rivals Everton, situated just across the other side of Stanley Park, can never host home games on the same day as it would put impossible strain on the city&#8217;s police force. The reason for this was clear to see as I wandered the streets immediately bounding the ground, where the conjoined terraced houses had sheets of metal across all doors and windows. I had thought that ...
