Dear All Greetings again from London, for the second of my two blog entries on my mini-travels to Jersey earlier this week. Here I plan to write up on my second two days on this lovely little Channel Island, which although were not quite so exhilarating and enthralling as the first two days, were pleasant and agreeable enough. I believe it was the weather which made a difference, which although I... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Channel Islands
Your blog is a great place for us to start our research. Challenging weather is meant to be embraced.... plus it makes us smile when we have the next trip and it is beautiful and sunny. No you are not complaining to much. You are describing your experience. I'm glad you were following in Grandma's footsteps. We love supporting local business and on small islands like this it is easy as all of them are local.

Channel Islands
Indeed, I agree on the challenging weather! Many of my travels have been to the hot and the tropical, it is nice to experience more of the cold, rainy and windy! It certainly helped me enjoy my evening brandy more...! I also completely agree on the loveliness of supporting the local businesses ?

We share a similar goal to visit 100 countries...
but I hadn't thought of joining the Travelers Century Club. So based upon your analysis I did a comparison of my own. According to Travelblogs list of countries I have been to 85. According to TCC's list of countries I have been to 105. I agree with you that the TCC list is not "proper." They list Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa as separate countries...and that is just for the USA! I might agree that the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are the kingdoms of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and therefore four countries, which is how the FIFA defines them. If I did this my country count would increase by 3. As for now, I'm sticking with the TB list of countries.

100 Countries!
I like our shared interest in reaching 100. It was actually our fellow travel bloggers Dave and MJ who introduced me to the idea of joining the TCC last year. Maybe see you there soon...! I prefer also to stick to the "proper" country counting list, but if it helps me gain full membership, I wouldn't say no, lol! Most Brits are also quite confused as to how our country/countries are defined. We are four countries in football, but one at the Olympics...! Thank you for reading my blogs Bob ?
