Raisdale House Hotel Penarth

Well 7 weeks to GO!!!!


June is still busy buying clothes can't keep her out the shops. We are busy trying to set up all the systems we need in place and staff what they need to do in our absence.

Great finding so many people interested in what we will be doing and where we are travelling to.

Just want to get Junes problem sorted at the hospital they are messing us about. Got heavy with them today.

Watch out for the next update.

Friday:
Well, today is the big day, where I fly out to Utah again. This is gonna be another big adventure as I am flying out to make a film, or star in one I should say.
While I was over in Utah in the summer seeing old friends from BYU, where I studied at, I met up with my best pal and roommate, Jerry Garcia. He was a film major at Uni and always went on about making a 'sci-fi' film. He also said that when he does a film he wants me to be in it. That was yrs ago. Since then we ...

Well - being in Cardiff was good since it is the closest airport, being on a 2-hr drive to the hotel. But had to wait about an hour for the rental car place to open up.

Went back to Cardiff Central to catch my train back to London. Pretty good day, overall. Cardiff may not have a ton of things to do or see, but I hit the major parts for sure and saw everything I really wanted to see. It was really interesting to see Welsh and English up on all the signs. Like, they really have both languages up almost everywhere. Don't see that every day!

Had a load of forms today from P and O they want another £300 for visas for entering the waters of AUSTRALIA INDIA AND USA even if you don't get of the ship. They don't mention this till one has paid. Is there anywhere special on the route that anyone would like a postcard from do tell us and we will put it on the list

I have been fairly tired so am taking advantage of the slow pace to build up energy for the rest of my trip. I went for a run around the fields and grounds this morning and have enjoyed watching some ...
