We were back. It looked cold and grey through the plane's windows, and I wasn't looking forward to the usual chilly blast that hits you when you hop off the Emirates flight, but this time it wasn't too bad, despite how it looked. We were met by our driver (get us...) and whisked home, although as…

Lao-tzu said 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step' so obviously if you are going further than that you need to head to the airport :-) . Early start, had to be at airport for 5am for flight to Gatwick and connection to Madrid

Had almost all day to prepare, but still left it to the last minute to pack, as our flight was not until 22-50. This would be the first time all four of us had travelled overnight, as 13 years previously we had had a nightmare journey with our daughter when she was just 20 months old. Due to the …

Been booked up for a while now, since the Champions League draw was made at the end of August. Not even the defeat by Unirea three weeks ago has put me off, Done as much research as I can, now just need to see how it goes on the ground. Preperations started earlier in the week, stocking up on my s…

Oh well, we arrived home today, it was actually warmer in Glasgow than in New York, which was odd, as everyone else thought it was cold, but it was practically tropical to us! So that's the travelling over for a while, the suitcase has been emptied and stashed in the loft again, beside my rucksack…

I think I've mentioned this before...I'm not a morning person. Having to get a flight at 05.55 meant I had to be at the airport for 04.30, so I had to leave the house at 04.00. That meant I had to be up at 02.30 to get showered and check I had everything. I'll only really get up early to travel...w…

Woke up to bustling and packing.  God, so early already?  Looked over and saw it was 2am, some guy was back from the clubs.  False start.Woke up at a more decent hour, threw my bags into a locker and checked out, heading out towards the east end of Glasgow on my final hours before de…

Back just before 11pm,and got picked up at the airport. Still an hours drive from Prestwick and after midnight before I got in. Worth it all though, and now can't wait to get away again. 

Me and my friend, Jena, were off on a 4-day jaunt to Scotland recently.  Probably not the bits of Scotland that any normal, sane person would be inclined to go to, but Scotland nonetheless.  It was an entirely silly trip, but I've tried to avoid too much inside jokey-ness to this post.&nb…

Glasgow. Nice city, nice people, GREAT shopping. Buchanan Street, Sauchiehall Street and the Buchanan Galleries are the shopaholic promised land. I regret not stopping at the Willow Tea Rooms in Sauchiehall St., they looked quite expensive from the outside. The Euro Hostel is a great pl…

I've managed to hit three museums here over the last two days, including the Hunterian, Berrell Collection and finally this morning the Kelvingrove.  Museums tend to make me drowsy, so I'm amazed I was able to get through.  I've seen a lot of old things, some things that shouldn't be…

All right, the title is a little retarded.  My flight made it into Glasgow, Scotland right on time.  I just wanted to pass through Glasgow, it was a neat city to see walking from station to station but I didn't really have time to see it on this trip.  Hopefully some day I will go ba…

I went to a Glasgow with my brother to a short trip. It was the second time when I have flown by plane. To this time I hated it so when I went in I was very sceared. For Luck everything was fine. When we get to Glasgow it was 7pm so it was dark and I haven't seen the city from sky. At the Airpost P…

Well, this way D-Day...departure day. It was all supposed to go so smoothly...but I slept in, the rest of the packing had to be done in a rush, Mum was irate because she had to go to M&S to pick up some essentials for me and halfway to the airport I realised I hadn't bought the assortment of S…
