Travelodge Guildford

... ve opted for the much more expensive option of a flight&#8230; which incidentally has already been rescheduled twice, since I booked it, due to unforeseen circumstances!<br><br>There haven&#8217;t been any dramatic kidnappings of British nationals since April 2008 but there is another &#8216;essential travel only&#8217; warning to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta but this is all drug related, so if I keep away from the cocaine factories I don&#8217;t ...

So I went back to London this weekend. First stop Victoria Station at about 6:30 am got a real good early start. the streets were empty. It was pretty cool watching London streets come alive. I had some breakfast at a small little hole in the wall and had some eggs bacon toast and some tea actually its the first cup of tea I've had since I got here. Afterward headed over to Buckingham Palace. The tickets did not go on sale tell 9:15 so ...

The ride under La Manche was suprisingly short, leaving Paris (Gare du Nord) at 14:13, I've arrived to London (St. Pancras) at 15:26 (local time, mind the 1 hour difference in time zones). Unlike Paris, London's train stations and "Tube" (subway) are very ...

... be in the third section. We got front row seats up th**e so had a really good view anyway. It was a great gig. They have really just made Jazz cool again. Lots of variety and really great improvisations. They w**e just missing a sax! The lead trumpet play** is a great muso, he really runs the band. Listening to their first CD and listening to them live, you can tell they have improved so much. Would recommend you to go and see ...

... towers and houses at the Tower. I was lucky enough to brave one of the many rain storms of that day while I listened to the audio walking tour (yes those were the rain storms that led to flooding, but it sort of added to the whole 'tower of london' thing they had going on). The tower is actually very cool with lots of history, once it stopped raining it was really pretty to look at so I snapped about a hundred ...

... station and boarded the train for Sunbury-on-Thames, where I spent the whole of last year working, ever closer to the promised land...

We made it out of the cottage just after 8.30, and headed East for Penrith &amp; the M6. After a nice cafe breakfast in Penrith we started South, admiring the traffic backed up behind an accident in the Northbound lane. Around midday we took a detour off the M6 and into Blackpool, as Al had always wanted to see the place. Needless to say he wasn't impressed - the beachfront needed repainting 25 years ago, and the whole place was ...

Blimey it has been a while since I have been in contact with the travelpod - I need to have a few words with myself. The first part of the commuting week has been dominated by train cancellations with over crowded trains when they do arrive and general grief. No ranting since it far too predictable, increases my blood pressure and ...

... a swathe past the cars on the one-way system and head for my last road home. A steady flow in the evening traffic and I'm thinking, it must be four minutes, three minutes ... or less to go. I'm thinking this is slipping through my fingers (again) - I hope not since I don't think I can bother trying this again - it is turning me into an emotional wreck. Anyway - a bit more weaving and its onto the back straight and the house is in sight. Into the drive, park up the funky ...
