2017 – A look back on the last 12 months

Well another 12 months is coming to a close so I like to look back on the last 12 months to reflect on whether it has been a good year or not and to set myself some goals for the new one coming up. In my looking ahead to 2017 I listed quite a few things I wanted to achieve so it seems

Tampin’ in Tampa

After a great few days in South Beach I headed to Fort Lauderdale where the weather was equally great.  After checking in I wandered along the coast and then headed into the centre for Game 1 Vs the Florida Panthers. It was pretty odd going in Hockey Jersey in 30 degree heat but in an

Welcome to Miami… Bienvenidos a Miami

It feels like I have spent 0 time in Birmingham or My Apartment over the last couple of months, and packing for the final week of work to go straight to airport was a pain but it’s a lovely way to kick off my December/January time off after this ludicrously short contract. The c

Day 2: Bye Bye Banff Hello Hockey!

My body clock continues to be screwed so I was up at about 4a.m reading Arsenal moaners on Twitter.  I packed up all ready before my tour and went for my breakfast at the grill.  I love American/Canadian breakfasts, pancakes, poached eggs, sausage, bacon and toast with a load of maple

Day 1: Banff National Park

Fair to say from Friday last week work was a bit crazy with a particularly nasty service issue gobbling up my weekend.  It was so messy I did not want to throw my stand-in under the bus so I didn’t take the day of the flight off in the end and ended up working from the Premier I

NYC Day 7: Back to reality!

It was a sad day today, having to say goodbye to NYC again and get back to the UK (and the midnight – 3am Islanders games).  I did a little bit of shopping this morning and went to Junior’s Brooklyn which was the first Junior’s (1965) for some of their famous cheesec

NYC Days 5 & 6: Hanging out with the lads

On Saturday I did very very little.  I watched football all day in the hotel room and I ordered Japanese take-away to the hotel room too.  It brought back good memories of last summer having Udon noodles again. I did book myself a swanky meal for the evening in Brooklyn though and had

NYC Day 3: New York is Ours

I was pretty lazy today to be honest, and finished off the last couple episodes of Making a Murderer and I’ve been watching way to much of the Hockey channel in the hotel room. I was staying in Brooklyn today because of the HUGE game tonight, the NY Islanders Vs NY Rangers.  It

NYC Day 1: F1 @ Heathrow

After a late night watching ‘Making a Murderer’ and panic cramming some work, I did not get much sleep at the hotel and it was a 5am alarm clock for me.  Thankfully, I did leave early because the day did not start too well. I have done Sleep Park Fly a hundred times with P

My New Love

Well, it is my first blog entry on my website. There is not much point to my website but I think given I use the e-mail for my work then it is wise to use the website. The content will be pretty static, but I have added a blog because I want to start to write about my travels and inte
