Zero Hour

6th February 2009, 9:50

By the time we got on the plane from Heathrow to Nairobi, I’d had 4 hours sleep in 3 days. When the cat sniffed my rucksack and finally clocked what was going on, I burst into hysterical tears that lasted from closing the door on him to the tube, along the Piccadilly line and all the way to Heathrow. Alex was very good about it, he must have been utterly horrified. I passed out within minutes of having fastened my seat belt on the plane, waking suddenly as the plane built

You probably now have heard that Bucklebury is a village in Berkshire (pronounced bark-sheer) England where Her Royal Highness, Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, (a.k.a. Kate Middleton) is from. 

Before and after the grand Royal wedding of Prince William to his beloved Kate, thousands of people have flocked to the small West Berkshire village, of just over 2000 residents, hoping to get a glimpse of this magical place where a commoner can be raised and become a princess.
Bucklebury is definitely one

After working very long hours the past few days we managed to clear up the time to finally go camping for a weekend. We awoke early eager to hit the road again (even if only for a few miles).

We've been delayed by weather and work from taking this spring shakedown trip a few times prior to this weekend. We've planned to install some new technology (tv, radio, backup camera, etc) to update some old and non working components.

I don't want to go anymore. I want to go to bed. I want a lie in. I want to eat pizza. I want round the clock access to mayonnaise. I feel a bit sick. I just brushed my teeth and tongue a little too vigourously and nearly was. I've just said goodbye to Mum, also on her way to Africa, off to meet Dad. They'll both be so near yet so far. Her stiff upper lip was a bit more wobbly than Dad's, in fact she didn't really try it at all. Dad has just been attacked by a lion, appar

 En esa búsqueda de lo mas parecido a un paraíso tropical para el descanso, QueLlevar.Travel conoció Isla Múcura y allí pasó un par de días en el Hotel Punta Faro.

Era cerca del medio día cuando llegamos a Isla Múcura, en medio de colores que vibraban a pleno sol. La ruta de acceso al muelle del hotel Punta Faro, proporcionaba la mejor primera impresión del lugar; el agua turquesa, la arena blanca, los techos de palma que sobresalen entre la vegetación, conforman una pos

I have not had one “incident” in 35 years.       

This is a question I am often asked.

Hong Kong is one of the safest cities in the world. Fact. I really mean safe and that covers kids, young adults, single women, the elderly and just your average person.

We have in excess of 25,000 Police Officers in Hong Kong and they are very visible on our streets, they are competent and professional and the vast majority can communicate easily in English.

I think I've had my first lariam dream. Having had only one proper nightmare ever, I was curious about this possible side effect, and almost looking forward to it. It sounded like a challenge. Well, last night, I was being chased up a flight of stairs by two axe murderers. Fortunately, they ended up murdering each other and by the end, I was fishing for trout in our garden pond. So, I reckon I can handle Larium.

 

I am reviewing my To Do list. The longer I look at it, the m

This time next week, we will be on a plane going to Nairobi. I’m a teensy bit of a nervous wreck. I have cried at Holiday ShowdownThe Dog Whisperer (which isn’t as good as It’s Me Or The Dog) and tonight I almost entirely dissolved into a pool of salt water and phlegm during Deep Impact. Hopefully, it’s the lariam. I don’t remember feeling like this when I was doing it ten years ago. But I wasn’t as good at worrying about things then as I am now. Mum, Dad, the cat, mone

For The Love Of The Land Down Under

G'day Mates!

You really have to love OZ. If there is a utopia on Earth. It just may be Australia. The flora and fauna, the Aussies are the nicest people around, and just the raw unspoilt feeling of OZ. The vast open spaces of the Outback and the Aboriginal culture. I'm a Scuba Diver, so just the Great Barrier Reef alone is enough for me to love OZ. Plus I'm a Greek and Melbourne is the highest concentration of Greeks outside of Athens, and Sydney just may be the most livable city on Earth. Furthe

When Travel Marketing Conferences Fall Short

I went to the recently held, high-powered Association of Travel Marketing Executives (ATME)  conference  eager to pick up the latest in travel trends, and come back with content for an article on the forward-looking state of travel.

Half way through the two day meet I began to feel I wasn’t getting what I wanted.

Nothing was sticking.

That was confusing because the roster was star-studded; the wunderkinds of travel’s social media world and executive clas

Adventure Voluntourism to Ecuador

2011-06-19_2228.png

I've been writing about a volunteer/adventure travel trip to the Galapagos for a while as I think it is a great way to explore the islands from a different, more adventurous perspective.

If you search this site, you will find a few attempts to give it the attention I think it needs as there are a lot of people trying to get you to spend your time there with their tours or companies.

I recently wrote an article about the trip, which is run by a company called Lead-Adventures. Click the picture abov

Today, we decided on the name for our blog. I rejected all of Alex’s ideas and he rejected all of mine, except one: losingluggage.com. Our agreement was sublime, not only that, the name was available. The satisfaction of coming up with something that no one else has is primal. Fifteen minutes later and it was ours and we had a nice big tick on our to do list. The first person to hear the name for our blog was my mum’s hairdresser.
