Sat here at Gatport Airwick waiting for our flight now, customer service UK style as always stinks, but hey we are on our way to two weeks of fun, Vegas, The Grand Canyon and Roswell New Mexico.
News
it’s Me
Very tired and looking forward to a few nights in the Bellagio hotel before heading out in the house on wheels. Oh my 28 foot long with a massive turning circle, that’s not the worry though, the one that does bother me is the fact that Mrs Fogg actually took 7 attempts to reverse a car in a parking bay, gave up and went to another one then took 3 more attempts to park. This all in something a quarter the length of an RV, oh well bang goes the No Claims Discount 🙂
It’s All Trippy
And They’re orf.
It has been such a hectic last few months, Mrs Foggy is in charge of people again and travelling all over the place and Mr Fogg is still on contract doing what he loves so much (mmmmm).
So today has been hectic up at 6pm, and out to work for 7.15am then off to pick up Mrs Foggy from work at 3.30pm and a 4 hour drive to Gatport Airwick, luggage checked in and to the hotel for 9pm. Long Long day.
Tomorrow the plane and Vegas here we come.
The Tooth The Whole Tooth and Nothing But
Say ello to my gnashers. Me had a crown fitted now, so I asked to keep the cast of me gob and here it is.
Look at it this way when I need falsies I can just slip these bad boys in and I’m good as new!
Got the Blues
Of all the sights to come across in Linz, I find this pair loitering near the main square. So, last night in Linz and what have I managed to achieve/learn:
1)Austrians may speak German but it’s a very different dialect to Germany with some very different words.
2)Linz is pretty dull in the rain
3)They smoke very strong cigarettes here, and a lot
4)Austrians eat HUGE lunches but snack at night
5)My heavy cold has still not gone yet. Boo
6) There are NO English channels on the TV except BBC Entertainment which is showing wall to wall old BBC dramas complete with canned laughter. Yawn.
7) I’m tired after two very long days if meetings here
8) I finally succumbed to a large glass of wine at the hotel

Mrs Fogg in the Land of Chocolate
And today sees Mrs Fogg off on a whirl wind tour of Manchester to Dusseldorf to Linz to Manchester then Bournemouth and finally to home.
Bags all packed, kitchen sink extracted and she’s gawn, booo. it’s going to be a hectic few days for my hardworking, uber geek.
Me and the Spikester will hold the fort until she returns in about 7 days time, no doubt the little lady will post some reviews of Linz and tell us how fantastic all the history (yawn) is.
Tokyo or Bust
No don’t worry, not another holiday booking, simply the end of another fantastic weekend.
Rounded off by a trip to Tokyo Joes’s in York and the Blues Brothers tribute band at the Grand Theatre.
Only 5 more days until the next weekend.
Wooo
Uber Geek in Full Flow
Ah Mrs Uber Geek Fogg in full flow, give her an Internet connection and a book and that’s it, she is like Rottweiler, never lets go until the job is done.
So what is the most wonderful woman in the world up to now I hear you ask, well working out exact mileage, shopping lists, places to visit, instructions and other such goodies for the next road trip, oh god not another we hear you scream, well yes as it happens. This time we are off to Vegas (no surprises), hiring an RV, going to the Grand Canyon, Santa Fe and Roswell New Mexico (to visit the aliens and the illegal type either). Wooooooo Harrrrrrrr we cant wait.
The only thing missing is the spiral binding, but even Mrs Fogg isn’t that sad (I wonder who could be then?).
Every day an adventure, every holiday is a dream and it is all down to this fantastic woman.
Every BBQ Needs a Scrubber
Yup here is Mrs Foggy cleaning up after Man Makes Fire has again cremated some dead animal like things.
Another tough week at work has seen us devour a little falling down water and FizzyBoobly.
so the countdown is on for the next break with Mrs Fogg having to spend a week away in the south and mit der yermans (she has even bought a phrase book for the occasion).
