FRIDAY 6 APRIL Why Changes in Latitude? My favourite recording artist of all time is Jimmy Buffet -- he of Key West fame (get it?). My favourite of his songs -- and arguably my favourite song of all time -- is called Changes in Latitude Changes in Attitude. If you don't know it, download it. If it doesn't make you think of me, you don't know me very well! So -- here we go! After a month of planning and driving my travel agent, Bianca, crazy, I am off for two weeks and two days to the States. The timing this year was great. Easter with Eileen, celebrating Kate's big birthday with her and attending Laura's Spring Fling for the first time in a few years. Let me just start by saying two things. First -- ... read more
