I’d rather like to travel. Abroad, to be specific. But there’s a problem. A whole bunch of problems, in fact. Should I list them? It’s hard to know where to start. Which is exactly why many people have just given up on the idea of foreign jaunts for this year. I haven’t, but it’s wearing … Continue reading A World of Problems

Streetview Vacations
Mrs P and I are long overdue a trip back home to Mexico City. Sadly, it can’t be just yet. Boris says no. Not just now. Maybe later this summer. No promises, mind you. But I’ve had both jabs, so never say never. But roaming the streets of the world’s greatest Latin American city will … Continue reading Streetview Vacations

A lifetime ago. Before the plague. Simple times. You booked a flight and some accommodation, and off you went. My initial … Continue reading Holiday 2021
Coronaggedon
It felt good to be travelling again. I like airports. They aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I’m definitely in the Love Actually camp on this subject. It was nice to see a steady stream of jets roaring into the blue skies above Luton Airport. It was good to see bustling shops, Prets and restaurants … Continue reading Coronaggedon
