The Trek

[riyadhcrew]

Hi Peeps,

Tomorrow, I am setting off for Scotland to take care of some business. I will leave here at 8.00am Uk time. I have a long transit in Doha, so I won't get to Edinburgh until 11.50am on Thursday. A 27 hour journey and I will be ''cream crackered''.

Hi Eric,

Have a safe trip and don't forget the travel socks

Regards

Some trip, Eric..... I well remember the delights of LHR-SIN-SYD-Brisbane a few years ago.... 27+ hours..........

Thank you all for your comments. On a trip like this - if you can stay slightly unsober all the way - it is managable.

[Gracie]

Have a safe journey Eric, keep in touch and let us know you have arrived safely, if you're sober enough of course

Belated safe journey Eric.

Just to demonstrate the wide diversity of  the lives of members of this forum, tomorrow I hope to travel half a mile to take care of a bit  of business... purchase the newspapers!

Maybe there is a grant available for demonstrating this from some uk.gov department?

Computer is now going off, as I have to go to the airport.

Will check in when I can.

Safe journey Eric. But in all honesty, Ruskin Airlines is not the airline I would have gone for. I mean 27 hours on nothing but cream crackers?  You will be a 'suit' of a man by the time you land! Hopefully you'll pinch some lemon slices from the drinks trolley for some extra vitamins and to help swallow the crackers. 

I will be keeping an eye out for suspicious camel & gorilla activities in the Edinburgh area you know!

Finally arrived in Kirkcaldy. It actually ended up taking 30 hours from door to door and i'm bloody freezing.

[Bound2Please]

glad you made it safe n sound even if brass monkeys.

Kirkcaldy, Broon's constituency wasn't it?

[riyadhcrew]

I think it still is.

[Polly]

Bad luck on Kircaldy, he's never in Westminster!

Hello peeps,

Business completed and I'm now packing up to go back to Bali. Going back via ''Hamsterjam'' this time. Never done it on KLM before, so we will see what it's like.

If all goes well, I should be home by 9.00pm tomorrow night (8 hours in front).

ERIC!   

[SwanR]

Safe travels Eric! I'm sure you'll warm up when you get home! 

[Timbo]

KLM...my favorite airline! On the flight from Bahrain the cabin crew would let us lie flat and get some sleep on the empty seats. Safe journey Eric!

[riyadhcrew]

Just got back to Bali. Only 28 hours on the way back. Hope everyone is well.

You haven't missed much my darlin, apart from Charlie's awful jokes, rumour has it that one of our new members (DaveB) is opening a wine bar on the banks of Salhouse

Seriously, hope you got all your business sorted and glad you're home safely

Not all good I'm afraid - my father inlaw just passed away. Luckily, my wife was there with him when he died. That sounds bad - but you guys know what I mean.
