Holiday to Death Valley in Dec 2015

At the end of the year, just after Christmas we headed back to Death Valley. We loved it the last time we went and we wanted to do more in this amazing place.

The CCR was very quiet. I had just short of 2 hours before my flight to New York. My Starbucks was really satisfying and I caught up with the Vickster who had been partying in my absence. After writing up my notes for the blog, I checked on gate info and noticed that my flight […]

Waiting at Gate A45 for my BA flight back to Heathrow

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 2 – Paris CDG to Heathrow

When the sun rose, it became clear that the mist had stuck around overnight. I wondered whether that might have an impact on flights. As it happens it seemed to have absolutely no effect on flights into or out of CDG. Perhaps partly due to having fewer scheduled flights just now? I wandered back to […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014: Day 2 – London City LCY to Shannon SNN

The hotel bed was very comfortable – I woke at 5:30 – a touch later than my normal time of waking – although I had two beers the previous night, and that’s a lot for me on a school night.

Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014: Day 1 – Brussels BRU to London Heathrow LHR

I spent about an hour in the lounge at Brussels Airport - it’s an ok lounge but there’s nothing much going on - the views aren’t that great and the food/drink isn’t that good either.

I found my way to the Galleries First Lounge at T5. I had enjoyed my first Starbucks of the trip. Jim is my Starbucks name!
