Here We Go Again

The Big Adventure continues.

We left Australia slowly sinking into the Wet and headed for Spring in Europe. But we didn't get far. Our Virgin Airbus decided to loose its way in Hong Kong. No we didn't disappear into a Malaysian Twilight Zone, the navigation system on the plane shit itself and they couldn't find a Tom Tom anywhere in Asia to replace it with. Virgin had to fly a new one out from London so we were stranded in Honkers for 24 hours. Virgin put all 230 passengers up in the very swanky Harbour Plaza Metropolis right on the harbour. VERY NICE! We had a huge room overlooking the harbour and the island across the bay. The delay was an unexpected bonus for us but for many on the flight it meant connecting flights, hotel rooms, tours and other plans had to be re-scheduled. NOT HAPPY RICHARD!

We finally arrived in London to more Wet. What I wouldn't give for some Global Warming right now. Still we shouldn't complain, our friends Pam and Barry in New Hampshire are still under feet of snow and suffering -4°. We are here in London till next Wednesday then we are off to Yorkshire to pick up Betha as Margie calls our van. We are hoping the weather will be better by then. We'd like to spend some time here in the UK before we head for Europe but it all depends on the weather.
