Hmmm - “Developing Corporate Strategy through Marketing Analysis and Planning.”  Now there’s a topic that I’m sure is enough to grip anyone...   That was what the course I was booked onto was about and in fact it was pretty interesting so there.   What it did mean wa…

We flew easyJet into London this morning.  It was only a 45 minute flight but one of the roughest landings I've ever had. We checked into the hostel for our last night and the went to check out the British Museum. Tomorrow will be a full day of flying home.

Christmas has always been a big event for my family. As a tradition, our clan would gather at our grandparents' house on Christmas eve. Our grandparents have 8 children with a minumum of 3 children each and most are married and have children by now so you do the math on how big this party is. :) &n…

All the cheap hotels were already booked... We had to cancel this destination... Anyway, I will visit Italy properly one day!!!!

The flight to London ended up being uneventful, which is a good thing. Once through customs, I made my way to Russell Square on the tube. From that station, I made my way on foot to my hotel, The Imperial. By the time I checked in and showered, it was time to head the London Coffee (which is in the…

  Drug usage is HUGE in London!  I cant begin to emphasize how popular drugs are in this city.  Its in the papers daily of the occurrence cocaine usage is in the pubs.  I work in South Kensington and there are several pubs located in the area.  Out of 41 pubs, 38 were posi…

We arrived at London-Luton airport 1,5 hours later. We rushed inside and our first thing was to look for the easy-bus transfer office desk. When we booked our transfer tix we'd read that if the plane is delayed and you miss your transfer because of it then you can get a later transfer for free. So …

So here I am, middle of August 2009, bored at work and writing my first entry.. Thought it would be nice if I started now as my memory is great, just missing lots of details as so much happening sometimes. And I don't write journals... (and here I am writing one) It all started last year: we…

Yesterday and today were great days.  This is a long post, so grab a drink (coffee, water, etc), sit down, and ready yourself.   Yesterday (20 August). We met Nigel and his parents at the Central Criminal Court of London, better known as the Old Bailey.  We observed closing argume…

Great excitement for me as we check in at Dulles Airport Washington DC as I am returning to my country of origin!  The clerk tells us that the flight is full and as a result we will be upgraded!!  This might be the first and only time this will happen to us so more excitement.  Thank…

As usual, I had booked myself onto a ridiculously early flight, to wit the 06:10 out of Gatwick, and, as usual, I made hugely pessimistic assumptions as to the obstacles that could prevent my getting there in time. Accordingly I got up at 12:50 and left home at 02:40 so as to catch the 02:50 night-…

Hard Rock Cafe (HRC) has been around since 1971.  The first Hard Rock opened up in London, England.  The Hard Rock Cafes started to spread worldwide afterwards and became well known for housing a large collection of rock and roll memorabilia.  Besides the typical set-up&n…

It is all getting really close now. Only 7 days left, and am I ready....well, 'almost', is, I think, a fair answer. And it deffinately sound better than 'No'. My room is mostly in boxesa and ready to be rented out for 6 months. I know where I am going to be for the whole of December around Australi…
