This morning...

Got up this morning to get the hostel booking section of backpackersunited.org working - it looks awesome and I'm so excited by it.  I cannot wait till beta testing is complete and we go live with it!

Then went down to KGV, played two hours of basketball (the heat smashed me :) ) and then had a beautiful (but slow) lunch down in the Rocks.

All in all, a great morning... 

Snowy days, delayed planes...

I'm sitting in the inimitable Belfast City Airport waiting on a very delayed plane to Heathrow.  That opening statement probably gives quite an insight to my mood.  Still, the result is an unexpected night in London which should be a lot of fun!

Last night a beautiful blanket of snow fell over Ireland.  This morning, though the drive in through the snow was quite stunning, the resultant delays weren't exactly as welcome at 5:30am.

Ryan Air had a plane hit by lightening but still the budget carrier manages to give out refreshment vouchers.  Given the debacle with Naomi's flight to here, I find it hard to believe that I am even more dismayed with BMI.  Yes, BMI have been topped by Ryan Air - apparently for them getting a plane to fly 3 hours delayed is thanks enough.  Anyway, enough cynicism, I've only had 3 hours sleep...
