Okay, okay! I'm GOING already!

Well - it's all booked. Flights, car parking, cat-sitting............... Oh wait. Cat. Must remember to ask my sister to feed the feline while I'm away........

I leave on October 2nd and fly from Bristol, via Amsterdam to Vienna. I was so paranoid over the possibility of delays and missing the connection in Amsterdam that I chose a later flight which gives me four hours' stopover at Schipol. I'm sure I'll find something to do there, even if it's writing up the adventure so far! Have just read that some airlines are making Apple users remove and pack their laptop batteries in their check-in baggage....... Eek! Not that I was going to use it in-flight, but I don't even know HOW to take the damned thing out! (Must find out........) I shall resort to non-technical gadgetry and hope that my Moleskine doesn't spontaneously combust as I scribble within......

Now I only have *looks at calendar* ....... 11 days to decide what to pack in my slutty luggage.

HELP!

Another blog under my belt.....

Well, in view of my upcoming trip to Vienna, I thought I'd set up yet another blog specifically for my travel stories.

Yes, I KNOW it's no great feat to travel these days, but for me, it IS. My last holiday was in 1994, with my kids and my brother, and since then - nothing. Finances and situations had meant no time off for jollification, or gadding about, and it's only now that I have decided to Do Somethng About It.......

So - shiny new passport clutched in my hot and sticky hand, I begin planning what I hope to be the first of many trips abroad, aided and abetted by my friends at GerardButler.net who not only have encouraged me in my misadventures, but have foolishly invited me to their homes........ Watch out world - here I come!!!!


Oh, and by the way - I'm not actually a Tart in the 'standing-on-street-corners' sense of the word - it's an affectionate nickname for Gerard Butler fans........
