Trafalgar Warehouse Apartments Liverpool

Well, as I will no doubt be running round like a mad woman tomorrow I thought it best to start this today! My last full day at home for some time. I am packed and ready to go!!

I am very nervous and cant really think of anything beyond tonight at the ...

This is just to get the ball rolling as it were.
Our aim is to have a life laundry over the next few months. Plan our year long trip through Europe. Sell or pass on to others things we need. Buy and equip a motor home. Produce a photo/video documentary of the trip.

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

... a little while. Anto had quite impressed me on the ANZAC trip through turkey by being just about the only bloke I've ever met who knows almost all the words to, "The Band Played Waltzing Matlida". After some mucking about with international area codes and other annoying but necessary details, we managed to get in touch with Anto and found out which bus we'd need to catch to get into the middle of town where we'd meet up with him, his lovely girlfriend, Marissa and a few of their other ...

... heat engulfs you on waking and is still there when you retire to bed. Air Con is on all day long and if that fails there is always the pool. We took a cable car up a mountain and the temperature fell by 35 degrees. Palm Springs has an aircraft museum of mainly WWW2 vintage worth over 12 million dollars and most of them flying! You got to keep em flying an old vetran said to ...

Right, so we go back to England from USA and i went back to Airbus for a few months till we leave for our round the world trip again and manage to sell the house. That is done so have also arranged to get a pay off for leaving Airbus so helps with the travel budget. Its been ...

... we are staying in looks absolutely gorgeous! I just hope that it's not a trick of the light and the places live up to the images. I'm particularly looking forward to 'Chogwe River house' Just the name of it invokes emotion don't you think. I can see myself as some sort of Wildlife explorer from an old black and white movie or something! Elephant gun over my shoulder and we're off. Can you tell I'm excited about going? Or do I just sound daft!?! The other half is flying out ...

... a few cyclists who advised me that it was a long and winding track and that the signage was atrocious. Eventually I got to Stockport and continued west. The signage would appear then disappear but I was confident if I continued down the Mersey I would get to Liverpool. Occassionally I would stop at a pub to rehydrate with a lemonade and stock up on water. The afternoon stretched into evening and I headed towards Warrington ...

Awoke over Ireland as we began our descent into Manchester, although sunny over Eire, rain covered most of the UK as we landed. UK passport control was strict, annoying and prying as per usual. "You put your date of birth in the entry column, you fail" was one of the more memorable lines (I felt like protesting the fact that I had to ...

John took me to Blackpool. He may have wanted to show me a UK beach resort. The street along the beach was full of decorations. I took a picture of his profile in the car. It was just a memory of Blackpool. We were on the way from Preston, where we met his old friend, and John talked about the word "love", because people there used "love" meaning "you" very often, when they talk to someone, like "Good morning, love!". That sounded awkward to him.
