Moscow Business Trip

5th October 2010

Up early this morning, 4am and left the house at 4.30am to drive to the airport.  At Manchester Airport I had a breakfast bap at the cafe which contained a fried egg, bacon and sausage all in one bread roll, so that is probably all my calories for the day just for breakfast.

Warsaw – Quick Trip

Wednesday 18th August

After interviewing some candidates for a position in my department all morning I headed over to Manchester airport where because I did not book the short stay multistory car park far enough in advance had to go to the long stay where I needed to catch a bus back to the terminal. I went through security without a hitch, got something to eat and boarded my KLM flight to Amsterdam.

Milan for a night

Thursday 24th June 2010

Left the house at 06.45 and got to Manchester Airport a little under an hour later. I checked in went through security and then got some breakfast, I don’t know why I always go for the greasy offerings they have here as I never enjoy it or learn my lesson.

Collectormania Milton Keynes

Friday 28th May

I started the drive down to Milton Keynes at about 5.40 and it took just under three hours to get to the MK Dons Stadium in Milton Keynes.

I will be staying at the Doubletree by Hilton which is actually built in to the football stadium. Check in was really smooth and they gave me a free chocolate chip cookie. The room was very nice, you could tell this is a new hotel as everything is still fresh and clean. My room even looks over the pitch.

Peru and Easter Island Day Eighteen

After what seemed like a really long flight due to lack of sleep when in fact it was around seven hours I arrive back in Manchester airport at 7.30am. I pick up my rucksack at the carrousel and meet my parents at arrivals who give me a lift back home.

TOTAL TRAVELLING TIME FROM EASTER ISLAND TO MANCHESTER 38 HOURS 44 MINUTES (Without Sleep!)

Peru and Easter Island Day Seventeen

Due to the large amount of people who have arrived and left their cases in the line area of the Copa Airwarys check in area (by removing all the barricades) and then walked off, they did not stay in the area. In any other airport in the world security would have removed these bags and destroyed them with the help of the bomb squad, I mean who leaves their bags unattended in an airport, that is one of those rules you just don’t break!!!

Peru and Easter Island Day Fifteen

Got up and went for breakfast as usual at 8.30. Today I had ham and cheese with a mixture of fruit. I sat with Deb, Laurie and Cheryl and after breakfast said goodbye as they were leaving for the airport straight after for their flight to Santiago and then on to a tour of the vineyards.

Peru and Easter Island Day Fourteen

I got up the usual time this morning and went for breakfast at 8.30, today I had ham, egg and cheese with some fruit.

After breakfast I walked into town to go to the bank and change some US dollars into Chilean pesos and then continued over to the moai’s along the coast here to take some more photographs of them. On the way back I bumped into Deb, Cheryl and Laurie who were on their way to the Island Museum. I continued back into town and to Oceanic car hire.

Peru and Easter Island Day Thirteen

Woke up at 8.00 got ready and went for breakfast by 8.30. I had pancakes with pineapple and melon as well as bread and jam.

After breakfast I went for a walk around Hanga Roa and stopped off at the Post Office to get my passport stamped as they do not do this at the airport.

Peru and Easter Island Day Eleven

I wake up at about 8.30 and it is a bit of a struggle after getting in early this morning. I pack all my things and check out of the hotel. I wait in reception until 10.00 when my guide Grace comes to pick me up for my City tour of Santiago.

Peru and Easter Island Day Ten

I get up at 7.00am and prepare for my pickup at 8.00am to take me to the airport, at 8.20 I begin to worry that they are not coming for me so I call the emergency line that is in my travel pack, it turns out that one of the guides called my hotel last night and left a message to say that they will not be coming to collect me until 8.45, I did not get that message.
