Tales from a travel office

We had a few clients late this morning due to over indulgance with Thanksgiving celebrations. Too much beer and pumpkin pie. Still we got them in the end so all was not lost. Cold day for touring today - don't envy them at Stonehenge which is an exposed site even on the best of days. But at least there wont be too many people there today - today is a day to stay in close to radiator. A girl in the office went to see her sister last night and had to scrape snow off he rcar this morning. Not a good start to the day. And they reckon there will be worse to come this weekend - London area usually gets of lightly but we'll see.

But hey, I don't care - I'm off to New York tomorrow ! I shall be the tourist from hell - If I take a tour, I shall be late for pick up and then scream don't the phone at the tour operator demanding they send the bus back to collect me even though I decided to have an extra half hour in bed, then I shall be late going back to the bus when we get off and visit places, keeping everyone waiting whilst I buy my postcrds, and then I shall demand my money back because we get back late and I miss my theatre reservation.

No - I wont be ! I shall be a model tourist. On time, polite and just happy to be having some time out and enjoying somewhere new.

Look forward to some Christmas shopping, sightseeing and Avenue Q which has been highly recommended. And some of our office are off to Cardiff to see a rugby match - big game apparently if you are Welsh or from New Zealand but ibt doesn't do it for me.

So busy day today getting everything done. Sometimes you wonder why you go away cos you end up doing two weeks work before and after you break.

No time to blog today so a short one. Have a good weekend and keep warm.
