riyadhcrew Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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''.

riyadhcrew Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thank you all for your comments. On a trip like this - if you can stay slightly unsober all the way - it is managable. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Have a safe journey Eric, keep in touch and let us know you have arrived safely, if you're sober enough of course Grace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Computer is now going off, as I have to go to the airport. Will check in when I can. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 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! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 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). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
