Well, the next time I post on here is will be, hopefully, in about 10 days time. I'm now heading off to collect "my engineer" and then it's off to Heathrow courtesy of Mrs Banks and due to arrive In Kos at around 05.30 tomorrow morning.

At which point, following a fuelling exercise Mr Banks boat, Whitelighter, should be on her way back to good old blighty. Oh not to mention a trip to the Port Police in Kos town to tell em that we really are going this time!!!

First stop is Zea which all being well should be around 22.00 tomorrow night, then its up the Corinth Canal and out to Corfu. Where, again all being well, Mr and Mrs Banks should be waiting to step aboard. It will in fact be the first time that Mrs Banks will have seen her husband's pride and joy (did I really mean to type that??)oh well, its done now.

It should then be a gentle cruise across the Adriatic as Albanian waters are now closed to small boats and then across from Italy to Split before "my engineer" and I fly home a week on Friday.

I must say, it sounds all terribly easy sitting here! I wonder if it will the same in reality?

Anyway folks, I'm intending to keep a photographic log of the trip which may well appear in one of the journals associated with this web site. But whatever, there will loads of pix on my our return. I'm taking two cameras and about 10 gig of memory cards /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

So until next time - ta ta. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif



PS: You never know yer luck, I may even log in at the airport, but budget does not run to the execuitve lounges so it will be an opportunistic posting.
 
Have a good time, hope things go better for you. I hope you have taken to sorting all the paperwork out, as that Jezbanks, seemed to have made an arse of it the last time!!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Speak to you when you get back,

Cheers

Al.

(Thanks for the document bag and clock BTW, Soli has the back for the trip and I'm looking at the clock on my desk).

I' m sitting here listening to David spitting feathers. BTW my BT mobile works fine. When I ring him, I get Mob is turned off mssg.Whats that about?? Cheapskate voda user!!. Only saying this cos he's watching over shoulder...............Update later"
 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - bloody Vodaphone! Rang the buggers today and even spoke to the prats at Heathrow B4 leaving - yes sir it will work! Does it bollox!!!!! Can't evenget hold of them here>

Anyway, it's 02.00 UK time,04.00 Greek time, got another 1hr 40 minutes until gate opensto get us to Kos. Jez, I can't evencall you to share in our "delight"! But Col can, so wake up!!!

Bye for now. My feathers are still being spat, so some poor Greek coffe moffie may get it inthe neck later!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif She should be so lucky!
 
So did you get your signal fixed??

Do you want me to phone Vodafone from this end for you?

Lucky you went yesterday, all hell seems to have let loose here, all UK airports are on critical alert and say an air bombing is imminent, all hand luggage has been banned incl, laptops ipod and mobile phones, only allowed to take medicine, baby and female toiletries into the cabin.

Jez, are you and Mrs Banks not flying out today? Good luck if you are.

Have a good time all.

Alistair.
