On the road again – Long Haul

The thought does not inspire me.  I have lost the thrill of Long Haul travel, that is if there ever was a thrill.  I think the very first time you have experienced it the thrill deserts you.  Long Haul is one of those things in life where it is clearly not about the journey but purely the destination.

The slower pace of travelling, now it is not tangled in amongst a myriad of work commitments and taking up precious days of holiday leave,  enables the luxury of a stopover and this time we are going to check out Singapore.

Then its on to London where we will watch the All Blacks play and WH will finally get to go to Twickenham, which is evidently right up there on the bucket list of wonders of the world to visit, alongside Pyramids of Giza, great wall of China and Serengeti National Park.

We will then roam around in a rental car for a few days and as it’s all on our side of the road, and having now driven in France and Italy, I am imagining it will all be quite tranquil.   But those of you who remember Under the Tuscan sun (Tui billboard) will understand how your imagination, when it comes to travel experiences, can really let you down.

Then it’s to the next wonder of the world (according to WH) which is a rugby game at Lansdowne Park where the All Blacks take on Ireland.  I shall try to remember to study the sports pages and do some up skilling of players names and faces so as not to be too annoying.  I have learnt from previous occasions that asking too many questions during a test match can be a little annoying (not for me of course).

The only other slight drawback of the destination is the weather.  Leaving town just as the weather here is on the up and heading to single digit temperatures seems against logic to someone who seeks out the sun and warmth.   Packing for the cold weather is much harder than packing for the sun but now have Boots, Coats, Beanies and multiple layers safely, squished, squashed, squeezed  and zippered up.

Packing Tips

Packing for the cold.   Pack a really warm coat, boots and beanie.  They take up a lot of room in the suitcase but then layers of Merino take nothing. So layer up.

Keep suitcases small and below 20 kilos.  When you are travelling by air e.g. London to Dublin weight limits apply and most of the budget airlines are 20kgs, some are even 15 kilos.  Also much easy to move around on trains, subways etc.

Print out a hard copy of all bookings.  Technology can fail and does so frequently when you need it.
