THE COMPANY I work for decided that all untaken leave had to be used up, so I found myself taking some 12 weeks of Long Service Leave. My wife (who is currently unable to travel) suggested that I should visit my son and his family in the UK, and get to see a few places I hadn't seen on my previous two trips.
The project grew, and I am now planning to be away for just over two weeks.
So far, I have renewed my passport, booked my flights and sorted my seating, and arranged to stay for a week with friend and former work colleague, Rachel and her family, and for a week with my son, Luke, and his family (including our grandchildren, of course!)
I plan to take two days in Berlin during that second week, and to make a couple of bus or train trips to places like Stonehenge and Bath that I have not so far seen. I have to book some of these things.
This blog will follow my progress.
This morning I found out about charging phone/laptop while travelling. I need to work out the best solutions for using my phone while underway. I have set up Vista, the final version of Windows that it supports, on Chris' much more portable and little-used old Dell, and, once a new battery arrives, it will be reasonably ready to use. So I am close to ready to keep this blog up-to-date while I am away.
Keep in touch!
