After a great few days in South Beach I headed to Fort Lauderdale where the weather was equally great.  After checking in I wandered along the coast and then headed into the centre for Game 1 Vs the Florida Panthers. It was pretty odd going in Hockey Jersey in 30 degree heat but in an

It feels like I have spent 0 time in Birmingham or My Apartment over the last couple of months, and packing for the final week of work to go straight to airport was a pain but it’s a lovely way to kick off my December/January time off after this ludicrously short contract. The c

A seriously early flight greeted me in Berlin, a 3:45am wake up call was pretty grim.  My flight was fairly painless though which was good and I had a couple of hours wait for my folks to land when we would be meeting my Uncle. The reasoning for Marbella being the last leg of the jour

… My love, WALKING ON THE MOON! Sorry if you were expecting some soppy posted based on the title.  It’s just the classic song by Berlin and it always reminds me of this epic phoenix nights episode. Returning to Germany, it was nice to be here again somewhere other than Mun

For some reason, before I headed to Estonia, I remembered a legendary Dilbert episode where he goes to visit the company manufacturing HQ (sweatshop) in Elbonia … have fun! Dilbert – S01E06 – Elbonian Trip by SH4DOWMOS3S Anyway, after an absolutely epic weekend in No

After returning home from Dubai, a quick stop off to see my best mukka before his 30th and then I was back to London (Gatwick this time) ready for my first trip to the African continent. Hard to believe how short a flight it is to Morocco really, and it was a very welcome short flight

Not kept this going throughout because really Dubai hasn’t got a huge deal of culture I would say.  This is definitely more of a chillout holiday for me as is my next one but hey ho… here goes. This trip has come a bit quickly all of a sudden!  I handed in my laptop and ph
