V-Flyer

Does anybody else get to the stage where all they need is a holiday and just to get away for a few days? Well, I am there now!!

Its not exactly exotic, but I am heading down to Cornwall for a few days on Friday and can't wait for the break. I've not been away since October and I think its been a really long, cold and hard winter.

It got me thinking and I wondered what fellow V-Flyers were up to over the Easter break?

I'll be on the 200 this weekend taking a kids football team to china!
Sucker for punishment me

I shall be doing what is traditional during a UK Easter

1. Avoiding the rain.

2. Waiting for the Easter eggs to be marked down 1/2 price

Make sure you wave when you pass Bodmin Moor. Looking out of my window it's still a long, cold winter here…... :0

The traffic has been horrendous this last month, the M5 at Bridgwater should be avoided at all costs. I think it's the 'spend it before you lose it' highways attitude to road repairs.

Have a lovely time down here and please go home with the feeling our county is very much an exotic destination.

I'm shooting over to To my nieces caravan park for two days however due to my turn left syndrome we are staying in a B & B next door happy Easter everyone

I am counting down the days to my 4th upper class flight to Orlando on the 25th, can't wait

Having the family with us all together, going out for a meal Good Friday. Cooking Easter lunch and still getting over the jet lag due to being kept awake by the strong winds when my body and mind says sleep.Lin

I love the Easter break, leave the office tomorrow, 4 days off & no work piling up while you are away.

We are

Celtic Manor for lunch on Good Friday

Totally chilled day at home on Saturday

Sunday have 3 sons (between us) & their girlfriends coming for
lunch & drinks, last time we all be together before myself & OH jet off to get married.

We fly to Vancouver (BA) on the 19th so on Sunday I can start my two week count down.

Happy Easter all

My stag do...

Well, since I'm out of office today and Thursday to attend a meeting in Manchester (currently ensconced in the Hilton Deansgate, very swish), I've chosen to go into work Friday just to make sure I'm up to date with our year end etc, then I'm off until Tuesday and I fly off to Japan on 10th for 2 glorious weeks holiday.

Yes, I'm definitely ready for my holiday now, can't wait but it won't be long...
Everybody enjoy yourselves y) y)

I'll probably be working to clear our year end before I close down on the 10th ready to fly on the 13th!

But there might be a bit of packing too

I've started my ritual, the bed in the spare room is strewn with clothes waiting for packing cubes... But let's not go there! I'll pack this weekend so as I'll be working up to 9th and then the last thing to go in will be my toothbrush so I can stay calm and enjoy the trip when it starts :w

I'll be relaxing at home enjoying 4 days out of the office.

Though I will be counting down the days and building my excitement for my UC flight to NYC on 18th April though

I think Mrs B has a long list of jobs for me !

Work! y) ?| !
Bretty. Enjoy the Hilton, love staying there, if you have access to the Executive Lounge if you hang around till after the advertised closing time it becomes part of the Cloud 23 night club!
Live it up man.

Driving up to LHR to collect Dragonbaby and then Easter lunch/ dinner with everyone chez DL the Elder .

Finishing up work in San Francisco this week, before heading back to SFO to party for a bit in Vegas.

Sorry...

):

Babysitting youngest grandson (2 years) overnight Saturday, and clearing up the aftermath late Sunday! Would also be packing for next week, but may be wishes to leave that until after said grandson has gone back home. Either that, or risk him unpacking... 8D

I'm off to the LGW Hilton in Sunday pre VS63 on Monday so rest of the holiday weekend will be spent packing!

One of the downsides from how it used to be IMO... but tangerine has never been a shade of skin colour I have favoured. Somewhere along the line some bright spark manager decided to blur the line between the Exec lounge and Cloud 23, devaluing the former for those with Hilton status. Relish the views though of the city and the surroundings; I used to just sit and watch the lights....

For my part I am spending Easter in NYC wondering why things aren't what they used to be...

I'm no party animal so not sure I'm gonna live it up Hazban. However, spent a pleasant couple of hours in the lounge before going out for dinner, amazing views. Got a bit tanked up on Voddy & tonic, but it doesn't take much :w Very busy though, and I did spot one or two folks who'd been tangoed, and one young lady, just as I was leaving she was arriving. Blonde, orange, dress had shrunk in the wash, lips had filler, everything about her said WAG :0 ho hum...

So while you lot are jetting off to lovely places, or packing to jet off to lovely places, or having lovely lunches with family and friends or just relaxing, I shall be working flat out on the busiest time in the church calendar. I work in our local church and the beginning part of this week has been getting the place ready and it all kicks off tomorrow! From then it will be preparing for one service after another - all of them different - with maybe a couple of hours break here and there until about 1.30pm on Sunday when we call all breath a sigh of relief. That's providing nothing goes wrong, like the time the parish priest omitted an integral part of one service and we had to fill in the breach somehow, or the time an elderly lady from another faith community collapsed and almost died just after a prayer service, or the Polish priest coming from Cork to serve his community accidentally smashed one of our statues, or the time the priest nearly set fire to the church when lighting the Paschal fire. It's not only bells and smells with us; it's danger too! :0

Oh yes, I mentioned the few hours break here and there. During those I have a date! With laundry!! Aer John will be home!!
