All change, please…
I've been giving it quite a bit of thought lately and have decided that this blog needs a bit of an upgrade. It needs more of a focus and if there's one thing I write and think about a lot, ...
Watching the Mallorcan sunset
After a lovely dinner at Puerta Portals yesterday evening, we headed black to Frank's parents' place for a glass of champagne to celebrate his birthday. Their apartment has phenomenal views over all of Santa Ponça, but especially the beach and the bay. I got clicking from their balcony and continued on our way home later. ...
Pensioners behaving disgracefully
The serene and calming photo accompanying this post does little to convey the pensioner-related carnage I witnessed shortly after it was taken. We're now in Mallorca, having enjoyed an excellent few days in Orihuela Costa, north of Murcia. We're in a hotel in the much-derided (and rightly so) Santa Ponça, which is truly awful at ...
Soaking up some Spanish sun
We've just spent a fantastic few days in Villamartin, Orehuela in Spain. We've been staying with my parents, who have a house here. Even though it's early April, the sun has been kind enough to appear daily and I have basked in its rays every morning and afternoon. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSf60T5FQcF/?taken-by=macpsych I can't believe how lucky we've ...
The lack of sleep is getting to me…
After Saturday night's surprise visit from the pizza delivery man, I was hoping I'd be tired enough last night to catch up on some sleep. Following an early flight to Barcelona for work, a solid few hours working in my hotel room and a long walk around town, I felt ready for bed. After nipping ...
Singapore to London: A first class experience with Malaysia Airlines
The return trip from Singapore was once again with Malaysian Airline, but this time I was treated to First Class. Frank managed to find an excellent deal, which meant the price was far from exorbitant and it gave me something to really look forward to. Singapore to KL I had a couple of hours to ...
My Singapore Onsen Experience: a little slice of Japanese spa culture
After a few days of jet-lagged work/survival in Singapore, I'd adjusted to the time difference and was enjoying my visit. Unfortunately, it was time to come home! Note to self: ensure the next visit to Singapore includes a weekend for adjusting to the time difference and enjoying the nightlife a bit more! All the same, ...
London to Singapore with Malaysia Airlines
We've just arrived in our Singapore hotel, so it's time to share a quick review of the journey here. Our check-in at Heathrow T4 went without a hitch and we quickly passed through security. In possibly record time! No shopping required, so we headed straight for the airline lounge to wait for our flight. We ...
Packing for success: a frequent flyer writes…
As I prep for my few days in Singapore, I turn to my trusty packing list in Evernote to remind me of all the important things that must be in my bags before I leave. Over the years, I've quickly realised that it's much more efficient to work through a packing list than to keep ...
A speedy Asian turnaround: Singapore in three days!
After making a list of all my upcoming travels, it was inevitable that another trip would make its way into my schedule. And so it has! Tomorrow evening, I fly to Singapore for business. I get there on the Tuesday night, and spend Wednesday, Thursday and Friday on a combination of meetings, workshops and sightseeing. ...
