Trip to Isle of Wight - Friday 1 to Monday 4 May 2009. Headed out at 9.00 am on Friday, Suzanne picked me up in her mini and went to Chris' where the other four were already there.

Haven't done a travelblog for ages so a weekend down to the Isle of Wight will do for my next entry! The day we were due to leave started off a bit ominously. Mark, our friend we were travelling with, had arranged the caravan and ferry for the weekend. After Denise had gone off to pick up Mark I suddenly remembered I had forgotten to double check with the travel agent if we needed separate tickets for the ferry (all we had was confirmation in a letter). With some trepidation I phoned the agent who, to my horror, confirmed we did need tickets and they were sitting in her office in the Elephant and Castle (a journey of about an hour in the opposite direction)! Thinking quickly I put on a mock-angry tone and said this ... read more
