Travelling in style...

I am typing this from the Business Lounge, Terminal 3 of Abu Dhabi airport. I left my apartment just under 7 hours ago and I have about another 12 hours before I arrive at my holiday apartment, a compact and bijou place, above the Music Box in Hyde! My accomodation is courtesy of my wonderful friends Bill and Gwen, who are not only providing me with a home this year, they have also managed to supply a car. I am really blessedand very fortunate to have friends and family that are so supportive and look after me so well.

I have written about Business Class before, but I never get bored of enjoying it. The flight from Karachi was only a couple of hours and the plane was quite small, but still I get excited about reall glasses, steel cutlery and china plates!

The aircraft on the next leg will be much bigger and I am hoping this is the one witht he full length beds, that way I can have a proper nap and arrived all refreshed, to be picked up by my courtsey car.

I have quite a packed schedule over the next 9 weeks, next week for instance I will be sleeping in Hyde, Great Houghton, Darlington and a little place just outside Doncaster, whose name escapes me. I will be catching up with Dave and Jayne, Meg, James and Neil and Catherine, I have a meeting in Durham and tickets to see Evita in Newcastle and that's all before the 6th July!

I also have lots of other things planned but more of that later. I had better go as all the complimentary water I am drinking to keep me hydrated, is now in search of a new home...
