Ain't travel grand?

In England we take our weather very seriously. You shall not pass etc.

I dont envy you, well maybe a bit.
the highlght of my week so far was drinking a concoction of gin, tonic and pineapple juice with Ana, i call it a welsh tickler. Ana passed out, and i had to take her to the vet to get her stomach pumped.
but really 20+ hours with only nicotine gum?

But you got a good blog post out of it and that is the only thing that matters.

Seriously Teigs, the lengths you will go to for good material. If I was wearing a hat I would tip it in your direction.

I hope you didn't take advantage of her. Nice to see you're not getting lonely without me, anyway.

>but really 20+ hours with only nicotine gum?

Yup. 20 hours straight is maybe a slight exaggeration. It was more like 16. But the whole long haul leg was 24 hours, by my itinerary.

There was a tiny little smoker's room box in the transfer lounge at Hong Kong airport. It was like hell's waiting room. With CNN.

I disagree; my severe discomfort, exhaustion and inconvenience matters, damn it. But I got where I was going in the end. Unlike some people.

It could have been much worse. (Theoretically.)
