Douglas, Isle of Man

Dear All Greetings and a Merry Christmas! I am writing this entry after my first venture off the island of Great Britain in nearly two years! Yay – how wonderful, and I feel truly blessed to have been able to do this. Whilst Great Britain is certainly a beautiful island, and I have very much enjoyed exploring more of it these last two years due to the circumstances, it is still an island, and f ... read more

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

So cool
OK, the picture of the Bee Gees statue convinced me (as if I wasn't convinced already - duh) that I just have to go Isle of Man. I have previously seen a Freddie Mercury statue (Montreux) and a Beatles statue (Hamburg). Bee Gees would fit nicely in that collection. By the way, unlike you I am not the slightest bit nervous when it comes to flying. I once fell asleep before take-off. I woke up after 30 minutes and then we were over the Atlantic. /Ake

Ah, indeed - from reading your blogs myself, I thought this would have been something that would interest you. Quirky and cool! Ah, I would love to have peace in flying as you do, it is certainly not a good thing for a traveller to have! It began I think when I took a plane to Moscow the day after 9/11. I'm sure there are ways I can overcome it. I shall try your method of falling asleep next time, lol!
