Europe

Today, I travelled from Los Alcazares to Alicante for an overnight stay.

I went to Valencia by train from Balsicas the day before my cruise departed.

We checked out of our hotel in Madrid today to take the Spanish version of the bullet train to Barcelona. It was quite comfortable and a lot better than the Chinese one I went on just a few months ago.

Today, I made the final part of my journey from Madrid to Los Alcazares.

I arrived back in Madrid, Spain today & then made my way back to Los Alcazares.

My flight from Vancouver arrived back in Madrid today. 

Today, we arrived in Malaga, Spain. It was a place I had never been to and was not what I expected.

On day 2 of my cruise around the Mediterranean, I arrived in Marseille early in the morning aboard my cruise ship, the Costa Toscana. I had initially booked a short trip around Marseille, but Costa Cruises cancelled the trip so I took myself ashore to look around.

I spent today onboard the ship, resting and trying to catch up on my sleep.

We got up early today for a coach tour to Montserrat via The Church of Colònia Güell on the way. We had no breakfast as our hotel doesn't serve breakfast before 7:30 am.

Today I woke up in the port of Oristan in Sardinia, Italy.

I remember everything about the time leading up to this event, during this event and after with absolute clarity. I do not doubt that this happened as I describe it here.

I woke early & had some breakfast in one of the breakfast buffets onboard the ship before disembarking & meeting the guide for my guided tour of Palma today.

Today I woke up in the port of Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

In 1996, I left the UK and lived in Orlando, Florida. I had left the employment of British Gas, taking a redundancy package that would help me live in America. This story is about what happened on my flight to Florida.

Not being very clever myself, I have managed to join a few very clever ladies and do a weekly quiz. They don't mind me sitting with them and throwing in the odd correct answer to make it look like I know something. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that four of the ladies with whom I
