We've reactivated the old blog

Keeping you abreast of events on our Europe trip (25 Jul - 31 Aug)

Aug 10, 2009

Greetings from Heathrow Terminal 5!

I'm sat here, enjoying the hospitality of BA's Club lounge at T5, waiting for my flight to Prague. While I enjoy fine wines and sandwiches with the crusts cut off... Jay is having a bit of a nightmare making his Rome > Prague flight, due to a missed train.

And he claims to be the organised one...!

Since I last updated the Blog, we:
  • returned from Alicante
  • had a ball at Brighton Pride
  • took a trip up the coast to see Sara in Eastbourne
  • caught up with Julie in Twickenham
  • stayed with Phillipa in Isleworth
  • caught up with Jason and Rich in Sunbury

After that, we went our separate ways. Jay went to Rome with Phillipa for a few days (Fri-Mon).

I, on the other hand, stayed in the UK and had even more "catch-ups":

  • Derek and Andrea were my hosts for Thursday night
  • then it was off to see Loralie, Rob and the boys for lunch on Friday
  • After that, it was a cab ride to Paul's, where I was spending the next few days
  • BBC reunion on the Friday night - with a surprise visit from Carlos.
  • Saturday was a nice relaxing day with Paul and a bit of shopping
  • Saturday night was a larger-than-expected British Airways reunion near the airport. There were countless old faces and tales of the good ole days.

Needless to say, yesterday (Sunday) was a write-off, as expected! Thankfully Paul was kind enough to let me just veg on the sofa for the day, while he went to work. I love holidays!

So, you're up to date. Today, Monday, we're off to Prague. Jay's flying in from Rome and I get in an hour later from London. There were some dramas as Jay missed his train and almost missed his flight! Lucky for both of us it was delayed, as I didn't fancy a night apart in Prague... esp. as tomorrow is our 7 year anniversary.

Well, that's it. Have a look at www.flickr.com/garryandjay/photos for some of our latest pics. Can't get them all on there yet due to connectivity issues with the laptop. I'm hoping to get some more uploaded in Prague, if I can figure out what the problem is.

Next stop Scotland. Not sure how easy it will be to get online there, so it may be a while til the next update.

Hope you're all well.

Til next time...

G & J xXx
