So my little sister is getting married and she's broken with tradition and is getting hitched in Las Vegas. Now some people may think how tacky or trashy is that - and believe me if I had anything to do with it it would be - but she's had this dream since she were a lass of getting married somewhere with meaning! I remember when she must have been about 8 and were visiting Wimbledon Common Karen announced that "she'd like to get married on the common with the wombles" And for those who know her - wellies and a hat were involved too!

It's been a while, folks. Much has happened.

Our flight from Cambodia arrived at Bangkok airport at 2pm on the 5th May, and our flight home was at 00.45am on the 6th May, so we knew that we were going to be in Bangkok airport for some hours, however it turned out to be much longer than we thought. We got to the gate about 11.30pm having spent many hours in a restaurant, to be told that the pilot was sick and that they were trying to find a replacement pilot and to come back to the gate at 2.00 am. We were given food vouchers so we could get some dinner (who wants to eat dinner at midnight?) and went back to the restaurant, along with several hundred other travellers. At 2.00am we duly went back to the gate to be told that ... read more
