travels with an ageing punkrocker/publisher
And we’re back, just about ready for the next trip. This time it’s back to Vietnam, and a few days on the way back in that Disneyland with the death penalty, Singapore. Our first trip in a post-COVID world. The packing is almost done, just the few basic bits like electronics and toiletries to pack. Nothing fancy is needed on […]
Read moreThe tired and grumpy baby edition. And that’s not referring to the grumpy and tired baby waiting to board behind me, heck I sympathise entirely. It’s way past everyone’s bedtime, and who at Malaysia Airlines decided that 2.10am was a reasonable time to fly? I’m talking about the muppet waiting next to me, who has his mobile volume turned up […]
Read moreIn a little over 24 hours I’ll be heading just north of the equator to Kuala Lumpur for a week of R&R (and lots of food). Stay tuned.
Read moreYup. Due to Life, the universe, and everything, I haven’t used my passport in over 2 years. I’ve lost my gold frequent flyer status, and have 6 months to rescue my silver. Some days it feels the furthest I’ve been lately is Mandurah, and regardless of what my ipod plays it doesn’t look like the cover of Born Sandy Devotional […]

It’s been a while, and there are a few posts missing. And somewhere an update crunched the template I liked so there may be some further changes to how it looks around here. But enough of the boring stuff, a new trip is on the horizon! Next Sunday I’ll hop into a big ol jet airliner that will take me […]
Read moreQantas lounge, Perth Airport. Next stop, London, to start the Ticonderoga takes on the British Isles tour. First stop is Loncon 3, the World Science Fiction Convention, where we’ll wheel and deal. Then it’s a few days down time in Plymouth with L’s aunt, before Dublin and Shamrokon to wheel and deal some more. L is already on the road, […]
Read moreAlmost packed and ready for a new adventure. A quick stop in Changi and then it’s two weeks in Vietnam. Stay tuned.
Read moreI thought I’d have a bit more time to post the lead up to this, but am almost all packed and off to the airport tonight. Tomorrow morning I’ll have 2.5 hours at Changi airport, then it’ll be next stop LHR (London Heathrow). I should be arriving around 3.30 pm GMT (none of that UTC stuff here for this trip!). […]
Read moreSipping on a Glenmorangie 10yo, in the emirates lounge, thinking I could get used to this. Takes a certain amount of tedium from transit. Boarding call, and off to the plane. Next stop, Dubai.
Read moreIt’s exciting to be able to say that in 3 weeks time, we’ll be in Scotland.
Read moreIt’s starting to dawn on me that this time next week, we’ll be somewhere else. Morocco. Land of the tagine, the fez, the western edge of the Sahara. I can say thank you in French and Arabic so I’ll hopefully be okay—I’ll have to try to remember numbers and things in French. But yes, no and thank you is a […]
Read moreTime to kickstart the next edition. At some point I’ll be reloading the previous slowly and loudly tour, but that may take a while. More soon…
