Two months without a post is pathetic

Well it's been ages since I've updated, and we're safe and sound in the UK. ALthough the trip, since landing in England has had a TON of debacles to say the least. First my laptop died. No week without a PC SUCKS especially when your plan is to keep up with work online.

So this morning I finally got through a week's worth of emails. But it didn't stop there: our villa had a retaining wall collapse. I won't bore you with the details, but you can get all of them on Dreama's blog if you're so inclined.

As for me, I am enjoying my time in the UK, although I think that I would much prefer it if it were during footie season. Fortunately that starts today (exhibition) but for real next weekend.

We leave for Greece on Friday, but we are headed to Liverpool tomorrow to visit with my 92 year old Grandmother, Alice. We're driving there, but are taking the train (Virgin-Richard Branson owns everything over here) back. I got us a killer deal on first class tickets on the way back, and was hoping that they had internet. I did some searching online, and found this (very cool):

So I got a great deal on a first class train ticket from Liverpool to London on Wednesday, and I'm checking out the amenities in 1st class on Virgin trains (hopefully for internet/wi-fi but no such luck). I scroll down the page, and LO AND BEHOLD:

First Class on a Voyager

First Class customers on Virgin Voyager trains will enjoy the freedom and space to settle back in stress-free comfort and work peacefully, or simply relax. You'll also be offered a range of complimentary goodies to make your journey as comfortable as possible.

Each of our snack boxes have a delicious range of snacks inside, with regular changes to the menu so even the most frequent traveller will be content. A breakfast snack box might contain a white plait roll with bacon (or with cheese and free range eggs for vegetarians), a fruit yoghurt and mixed fresh fruit. At other times of the day you might open it to find a roll filled with brie and grape or chicken and bacon, Penn State sour cream and chive pretzels, Lily O'Brien's Chocolati chocolate and mixed fresh fruit.

On many journeys you'll either be served a snack box at your seat, or you can pick one up from the onboard Shop in coach D.

I can't promise how much blogging I'll be doing, especially now that our Internet situation in Greece could be totally f*cked, but we'll see.

If you really want to keep up with what I'm up to, check me out on twitter. Only me, Dreama, JD and Alison Lukan are really active, but it's pretty much the coolest social networking aspect out there. I use it mostly for work, but often my commentary is non-work related.

If you get used to it, twittering during the PSU games will be very cool (rather than bulk texting each other). Plus there's a trail of messages to see.
