We have arrived in Belgium after what seemed like a real short flight. We experienced no problems at the Russian borders like apparently some people experience – must have just been my good looks that caused this. However a surprise awaited us at the aircraft boarding handed over the get on board tickets you know the boarding pass thingies we get asked to wait a minute – me thinkest buggar, what’s wrong now!! You know what nothing - they had upgraded us to business class – yep that’s right business class – I am of course sure that it was because of my incredible good looks as I am sure you will agree. God I like Russia and the way they recognise good looks and integrity.
Ok so arrived in London and as we were walking around the terminal generally just wasting a bit of time we walked into Sharryn & Garey. Mmmmmmmmm amazing who you meet in an airport really!! Mind you, could have had something to do with the fact that we were both going to the same place on the same flight. We were not upgraded on the flight from London to Belgium. I think that I will blame Sharryn & Garey for this although am not too sure just what they did to influence it but am sure it will have been something!!
Arrived Belgium at 10:30ish pm and were met by Eline’s dad Stephen as we are staying in their beachfront holiday apartment in Koksyde on the coast about 140 Kms fom the airport. Picked up the rental and the upgrade thing must still be working as we were given a Mercedes Benz when had ordered a Peugeot – some would probably think that the second would be better but you must admit really a Merc just has that ring to it!! Followed Stephen to the apartment and arrived here at about midnight. He showed us through and then left us to our own devices. The apartment is new and very modern with amazing art on the walls. We are meeting up today and going to visit a number of the war memorials and then going to the Last Post tonight under the Meningate which occurs every night at 8pm. Tonight will be the 27407th time that it has been performed. Afterwards we are going to their place for dinner which will be great. The forecast for the next three days is around 20 deg with light showers.
Ok that’s about all from me for the day so till later - Cheers

where have you been? Some people just don't appreciate good looks, good driving and good company (except for Gill). Good to hear you have arrived at the next destination in one piece and found the travel companions. On the AFS front - whoops, nearly did it - don't care.....Are you nearly 1/2 way?????? Keep the commentary going it is really great.
