Nassau, day 1, 280325
After leaving work early on Thursday, we travelled down to London on Hull Trains, then had an hour Tube ride on the Piccadilly Line. After enjoying our evening at the Sofitel at London Heathrow Terminal 5, we had an early wake up call on Friday morning. We used express checkout to save ourselves any bother…

Miami, FL, Day 8, 020324, and a run for home 030324
020324 I really didn’t want to get up on Saturday morning. My body was tired of huge food portions as well as American wine and cocktails. However, a check of the weather back home meant that we needed to make the most of our last hours in the US. We packed up our belongings into…

Miami Nice, Day 7, 010324
We ate breakfast at Palm Avenue Deli in Sarasota before hitting the road back to Miami. Google said it would take just over three hours, but nearly 200 miles on the I-95 South (part of it is called Alligator Alley), and some annoying roadworks that brought the traffic to a standstill, made it more like…

Sarasota, Fl, Day 5, 280224
We got up quite early as I had a two hour or so drive from Naples to Sarasota. After breakfast we checked out and were soon on the road. The journey was uneventful, apart from a couple of hold ups with roadworks, and we arrived in Sarasota before lunch. We parked up outside the hotel…

Miami South Beach, Day 1, 240224
The day started off at Sofitel Heathrow with a 6:30 am wake up to allow us to be at the airport in plenty of time. The hotel is in a perfect location as it is a five minute under cover walk to terminal 5. https://all.accor.com/hotel/6214/index.en.shtml?utm_campaign=seo+maps&utm_medium=seo+maps&utm_source=google+Maps Heathrow was busy but we were fast-tracked through security once…

Vilnius Day 2, 311223 New Year’s Eve
The day started at a leisurely pace with a lovely breakfast in the hotel. We had a good choice of cold cut meats, cheeses, salad, fruits, pastries and yogurts. There was also a menu if we wanted anything cooked to order, such as omelette or boiled eggs, so plenty to choose from. We went out…

Italian Job 2, Day 14, Murano and Burano, 060823
We had a leisurely get up on Sunday. It was a beautiful sunny morning even though there had been overnight rain. We tried a restaurant nearby that did different breakfast options. The waiter got a bit grumpy with JC when he asked to change his coffee from a cappuccino to an americano as this wasn’t…

Italian Job 2, Day 13, Venezia, 050823
We had a smooth checkout at the hotel on Saturday morning, and a taxi was ready within five minutes to take us to Stazione Porta Nueva. The 11:00am Trenitalia Frecciarossa train was taking us on a 75 minute journey to Venezia Santa Lucia. We had a complimentary lunch box given to us on the train…

Italian Job 2, Day 12, Verona, 040823
Breakfast was good in the hotel on Friday morning. I would have gone back for seconds but an old guy had coughed into his hand and then pretty much touched every piece of serving cutlery…. I knew I wouldn’t starve. We had pre-booked La Casa Di Giulietta (The House of Juliet) for 9:45am, on Via…

Italian Job 2, Day 11, Verona, 030823
We were up quite early this morning as the latest check out time was 10:00am. We also thought it might give us a head start with the traffic as we left Riva Del Garda. How wrong we were; we were no sooner leaving Riva before the traffic had built up and came to a virtual…
