Meanwhile, back in the real world.

Mrs. Houdini strikes agian. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of stuff Shirl can cram into (in this case) only 2 regular size cases. A fair selection of goods.

Then you look at the boys toys section and @Andy McDonnell , @Bozzy , @Eddie Zedder , @DavidM , @Rha @Antm72 , and maybe even old @Grumpy , and you might just spot something you'll like.

Except the Jamesons, that's mine.

Tony.

OMG - Did you Fedex your clothes back home?

 

[t-tony]

I can be flexible on the Time chaps if it suits?

We'll see how it goes Andy, you have to have a starting point.

Tony.

 

[Rha]

Pub steak pie for me Tony, might be a little early though if that's ok, going to start journey nice and early and have a steady run up, no breakfast so I can finish all the pie and chips. Shame Grumpy can't make it, if it's a transport problem and he's not too far from you I could always pick him up and drop him off cos he was first on the list after all. Roy.

 

[Antm72]

12 midday at the swan then suits me i'll grab a bite to eat too

 

[t-tony]

You tell me when you think you'll be here mate Andy is flexible as is Ant. Steve (Bozzy) hasn't replied as yet and Bryan is reasonably local.

Tony.

 

[Rha]

Ok Tony, I didn't mean you change any times it's just that I'll be up early and she can't stand me fidgeting about waiting to get the Z out, so I thought I would perhaps be a little early and contact you from the pub, no big deal can still have dinner with you all if I don't collapse from hunger waiting.

We travel light over to there Ian. We have a locked owners closet/ store room at the villa so we basically take the clothes that we travel in and not much else. Often just a hand luggage carry on. Saves time waiting for the bags to come off. Our record from take off at Manchester to walking in the front door at Wishes villa is 9 hrs and 50 minutes.

Ah - The American way. It seems that carry-on only is the way over there.

 

[t-tony]

It is if it's possible, but, mind you the size of some carry on bags is laughable considering that they are supposed to fit into those silly gauge things you see at check in.

Tony.

Ian, he wears 7 layers sweating profusely (got checked for Ibola) then they had to sit him in a large persons seat.

 

[t-tony]

Cheeky toad. You can forget the sheep @FRANKIE and @miller1098 were here abouts only a month ago and Hugh had his rack bolted on.

Tony.

 

[Rha]

Sorry to hear you can't make it Bozzy, see you next time around. Roy.

[t-tony]

It also means I can have a bite to eat when I get home from work. It's ok for you self-employed types.

Tony.
