Tales of travel and misadventure

On Getting a Bank Account

In Personal, Travel on 10 July 2003 with 7 comments

To do just about anything in the UK, you need an address and a bank account. To get a bank account, you need an address so we got that out of the way last month. After we settled in, my roommate Jens (pronounced “Yens”) and I went to the Barclay’s Bank in Hatton Cross to [...]

HnG

In Travel on 12 June 2003 tagged greece with Comments Off

I’m back from Paros and Athens, Greece. Tomorrow, I head to Toronto for a wedding (HnG = Hi and Goodbye). The short version of my Greece trip: Wake up, have yoghurt, fruits and honey with a frappe (Greek breakfast), check out a beach, fall asleep, get in the water, play frisbee, sleep some more, shower, [...]

It’s All Greek to Me

In Travel on 2 June 2003 tagged greece, immigration with Comments Off

Tomorrow, I am bound for a week on the beaches of Paros, an island in Greece followed by a couple of days in Athens. The weather here in London has actually been pretty great this weekend if a bit humid. We got all our papers signed for the apartment and moved everything in today (except [...]

I Need a Break …

In Travel on 23 May 2003 tagged blogs, kathryn with 6 comments

… I need a KitKat. That’s right, one more has joined the cult of blogging! But more importantly, Kat will join me in London in less than a week, just before we head out to the Greek Islands with Jer and some random strangers (to me at least). Too bad I lost my Dimage-X in [...]

Paris

Jamie set up a moveable type blog for me on my server so I’ll be moving away from Blogger soon. As soon as I get around to redesigning the site as well. Lots of new content coming. I’m in London and have been since my last post. My access to any decent net connection has [...]

5 Airports in 16 hours

In Travel on 5 February 2003 tagged austin, immigration, london with Comments Off

I’m procrasinating from working on my portfolio (a to-do item I’ve had for months now). Instead, I will regale you with my adventures in travelling from London to Austin. The short version is that it was a nightmare that required all of my roadwarrior guile to get me back to Austin at the scheduled time. [...]

Have Passport, Will Sleep

In Travel on 22 November 2002 tagged british airways with Comments Off

I’ve managed to get my passport and am now in London. Heathrow to be more accurate. I flew on British Airways Club World (provided kindly by BA as we’re consulting with them). See for yourself. I don’t think I really need to add anything.

Flying in More Ways Than One

In Travel on 20 July 2001 tagged south padre island with Comments Off

South Padre Island was excellent. The beaches there are still beautiful. At night, we managed to watch the moon rise which was a first for me. Everyone else seemed to see some cosmic phenomenon or another but I missed out =( We did see a stray tent wandering across the beach though. Also Jeni, Jonathan [...]

Platinum Challenge

In Travel on 10 July 2001 with Comments Off

Well I’m now travelling for work. Signed up for the American Airlines Platinum Challenge and all. Looks like I’m a full blown consultant. Let me just say, flying into west coast first thing in the morning is tough. Cuz I start my day at 6am and end at around 1 or 2 am CST. Oh [...]
