    Well, the last 48 hours has been a good test of my ability to get from one point to another... The story goes like this.

    Up on Friday @ 4am to get my wife and kids ready to goto the airport to catch the flight from Singapore to London @ 8am.
    Well the wake up call was on time, the taxi bus was 10 minutes late but that wasn't too much of a problem .... incidently, thanks to everyone in Singapore, you have such caring people, they all greated us and the children and were very polite, thanks .... anyway back to the story, got to the airport and thru the several security checks and onto the departure gate. Boarding the plane 1st, they let people with children on before the rest of the passengers, we were all sitting on the plane ready to go when the captain said "Our engineers are checking a small oil leak in the cargo hold"... 10 minutes later .. "sorry all passengers, please leave the aircraft as we have a major oil leak and this aircraft cannot fly. So we all piled off... okay everyone has their hiccups, we all got off, the nex plane didn't arrive until midday, so our flight was delayed about 5 hours. Now I HATE flying and anything other than a 10 minutes bus ride gets me nervous. So a 12 hour flight had me a little worried. So will 4 movies, some music, a whole heap of food later, we landed in Heathrow at 7.10pm, 10 minutes late for the connecting flight to Belfast. Well then things went pear shaped...
    We attempted to get to the BMI terminal straight away but there was no more flight for the night. BMI threw their hands up and said it aint our problem, $1200 for new tickets.. Well what I said cannot be spoken here but we soon left disgruntled. So we tracked back all the way from terminal 1 back to terminal 3 to Singapore airlines to get things sorted out. They were great, they'd booked us transport to a hotel, dinner, a night's sleep, breakfast and the 1st flight out. So what started out as a 12 hour flight, has now taken 24 hours to get here. BUT WE@RE HERE in Belfast now.

    More travel-logs to come soon

    Holiday - 1st Stop, Singapore

    Well I couldn't help it, first sign of internet access in the hotel, and I'm on here again. Here's where we are staying, can you guess what floor we're are on. Look for me waving, no not really, this is just a stock photo of the Swissotel Stamford in singapore.
    Hopefully when I can get to a computer that doesn't have the USB port covered, I can upload some real photos.

    Turns 40 & Holiday

    Well I finally made it to the golden age of 40. Apparently life begins at 40 according to various sources so we'll see what happens.
    Had a nice day with the family whilst off work. Well I've not actually got a job until I come back from my holiday. I've scored myself a nice engineer's job with the local government power provider... NO MORE SALESS... YEAH!!

    And now onto the holiday, leaving Wednesday morning, 1am, I'll be off to England, ireland & Paris, then Euro disney, so you may not see me on here for awhile, I'm not due back until the middle of October, so to all my GS friends, live long and prosper.
