J'arrive!! After many travel issues we have finally managed to rendez-vous in Miami. Laura spent a darling 4 hour flight crammed in between a Parkinson's sufferer and a furious Australian club owner after being bumped from 1st class.... the HORROR! She ...

... I would go into more detail but am suffering from a small dose of food poisoning and need to be near my room. One more thing, Laura from Madingley Hall keeps hasseling me to give her a mention on this so I'm doing it just to get her off my back. ...

... All the economy cars were out so I ended up paying a bit more but what the hell, I deserve a bit of luxury. Tried calling Laura and Kevin with varying degrees of success on a public phone and was soon sitting behind the wheel of my car wondering which way ...
