Southampton Holiday Inn

Hello everybody <br><br>We are still alive and well. We are in Cambodia at the moment. Apoligies for not sending any travel blogs for a while. As we're are trying to do 2 blogs at the same time it has become too much to keep both of them going simultaneously, so this one has been neglected for a while. If any of you are interested in our travels I can add your email ...

Bournemouth has a very funny layout.. the two main streets of the town go up both sides of the hills that lead down to the park and eventually to the famous Pier.<br><br>I was a bit down in the dumps this day.. I think because I was watching all the families and couples having some fun. It was mid term break so there were heaps of kids around and the entrance to the Pier was packed with amusements and ...

... it was a lovely evening, more cider if I remember rightly. I found out about what my brother Phil got up to while he was staying with them back in 1987!!! Apparently spunky is a rude word for something else in England!! And he frightened poor Frank one night by sliding his car across the gravel out the front of one of the pubs!!!<br> I definitely have to go back to the New Forest.. if not for the great people but the great outdoor life you can live there.

... people coming from London to take in the sea air and take to the water, ie the spas! Jane Austen apparently stayed in Southampton for a time as well.<br><br>The last night with the Smiths and we had a bit of a party night, I bought Indian... the music was put on and we were dancing and Olly was playing with his guitar and the dogs!<br><br>

Well here it is. My first blog of my new trip, not that I am actually there yet, I am about to leave to go to the airport. <br><br>I am flying at 6:40 in the morning to Moscow with a change in Denmark so I am going to have very little sleep tonight which also happens to be my 27th birthday! <br><br>I am always overseas on my birthday having spent the past 7 years working over seas in the summer which is always a good thing.<br ...

... adventure of a lifetime, but that we were genuinely pleased to be home, and excited to be seeing our families for Christmas. I had a great emotional reunion with Mum in the arrivals hall, who had driven all the way up and stupid O'Clock to collect us, and then we were back in Southampton for a nice cup of English tea and some toast! And so ...

Yesterday I went to the local mall with my sister. It was similar to the malls in the states. Except one of my favorite stores was missing, a clothing store called guess. There was sales going on at the mall so it was very packed. While walking outside I saw a little boot with some italians that had some cheeses to sample. I asked the man sitting in the boot if I could have one, he kept giving me samples of every ...

... So out of a number of offers, I've taken a job with Weir Strachan and Henshaw in Bristol, a company you've probably never heard of! They do a lot of defence work, which I don't want to do, but also civil nuclear decommissioning type work which sounds a lot better. They've also previously done renewable energy work and see this as a growth area, so fingers crossed! I guess that finally draws an end to my adventure around the world. I was meant to be ...

... it difficult to pick a favourite. Most would include stunning scenery (such as Pammukale, Cappadocia, the Vatican, Cinque Terre) but the best come from the people I have met along the way! Plans for the new year include Egypt, France and Spain, and then who knows? It is truly an incredible feeling to wake up each morning and think, where should I go today? And know I can go anywhere, do anything I choose. Complete freedom. Amazingly, tomorrow will ...
