Richard booked for my Christmas present a trip to Lisbon for our first wedding anniversary. We were leaving on Friday 12th May from Heathrow terminal 3. Dad was off on sick leave so he managed to pick and drop us off which was good. We went to Leon for a bite to eat before we went through to departures. I had a chicken burger and Rich had a wrap and we got his free side of fries. As there was a slight mix up, the lady actually gave us a brownie as well which wa...

Our big holiday of 2017 was Sri Lanka, this was our last foreign holiday for a while with a baby due in August. We wanted to have a far away trip and we were limited as Zika virus was in a lot of countries which makes it dangerous for pregnant women or those trying to conceive as can cause disabilities with unborn children.

We were greeted by the two guard dogs and they were more friendly then scary. We waited for our taxi and it had been given the instruction of picking up 50m from the Russ Hill Hotel. After wait...

We were up on the Tues at 6.15am for our 8.30 flight to Mauritius. We flew up to Jo'burg which took a few hours. We had a KFC at Jo'burg, have to sample the foreign take away foods. It had a spicy salt on the chips which was nice. We waited to get through immigration which took forever, can't rave about the customers in Jo'Burg as it was slow on the way out. Some guy with his family proceeded to push the queue and then slow it down and the second other officer ...
