Where's Wally ? (Dubai edition)

Well I know whey Royal Brunei was the cheapest tickets I could get. They do everything manually.

That was fine until we got to Dubai and they lost a person. First there was the manual recount by the man in the red jacket. Then the man in the blue jacket came and counted. Still not happy the man in the gray jacket had a go. Then they got us all of the plane, recount. It was clear at this point something was wrong, and we were told that we were missing a person. What is the solution to a Missing Person Royal Brunei Style?

That right pull out all of our luggage on to the tarmac and sent us down in groups of ten to identify our bags which can then placed back on the plan, and with Wally's stuff (I've called the missing person Wally for the sake of the story) we could finally fly off. What do they say it isn't the destination it is the getting there.

I'm here safe and sound. Cheers dc

7 More Sleeps

This is my first blog entry that I've tried from the online word processor Writely. It seems to be very cool. As a nerd that generally struggles with spelling at the best of times I suspect that this might be my preferred way of making blog entries. Now grammar only I have to worry about.

It is only 7 more sleeps until I leave. I think that I'm finally starting to get a little excited. I still have very little plans for over there so far they include
  1. Mickey and I doing some very bad UK accent work
  2. Meeting Jess and Stew in France and pretending I'm in the Helgas add
  3. Go Couch Surfing and meet a bunch of cool new people

Why you shouldn't Google yourself

When 15 equals 5

Well the story is even cooler now. On Friday 28th a parcel arrived at my old house. And yes it was my visa, processed and returned in 5 working days. Annoying but that is the last of the paper work that needs to be finalised.

The list of haves is looking much better:
  • Passport
  • Visa
  • Travel Insurance
  • Bag (Sleeping and Backpack style)
  • Camera (Canon ixus 750, Very happy with it so far)
  • iPod
So now it is just a battle between me and old father time. 18 more sleeps Damn you father time, damn you.
