There is never enough time or money to spend when travelling and my visit to South America was no exception. With just two weeks and the desire to see Rio and Iguacu Falls at the very least I found my plans forming to fly into Buenos Aires and returning via Rio ….this is how the […]
Those that know me or read me know that I sometimes rant about other travellers, today is no different. On a recent flight from Rio I was disgusted to find in the toilet that the person in front of me did not clean the sink round after use….despite British Airways clearly indicating that one should do just that! Secondly […]
A long flight from London Heathrow to Ezeiza Airport, Buenos Aires gave breakfast in bed a whole new meaning. Two hours before touchdown I was served one of the best airline breakfasts I’ve experienced in a long time…..all this whilst enjoying the flat bed luxury of business class sleeping when flying overnight. The choice is yours, just after take […]
It was quiet on New Year’s Eve at Dulles……..so as we entered the lounge we were greeted by Anthony who gave us a personal tour pointing out all that the lounge had on offer ……. he left us in the kind hospitable hands of Habib who welcomed us with champagne. A congenial host is Habib, he […]

British Airways offers an automated system […]

Today’s Telegraph magazine must have been designed for The Grey Traveller as it was all about me…..well I might be exaggerating a little but definitely all the articles were well chosen for someone like me. A mature and frequent traveller who likes to people watch. It had all the ingredients to make me smile and sate my […]
