Air Travel
A few of the diarist's days involved international air
travel.
- Car journey
to Hereford, a distance of 25 miles (no other transport) to catch a train
for a flight from Heathrow to New Zealand , visiting and sight seeing.
- Having
returned from holiday in Sorrento, Italy, on the evening of 23rd September
into Manchester Airport, we hired a taxi to our friend's house in Nantwich
where we stayed the night.
- La Gaude,
France. I arrived here in La Gaude a few days ago to visit my extended family.
From my home in Penybont L E Powys, the journey to Manchester Airport took
about an hour and a half by car. Terminal 3 is very user friendly and I was
soon sitting aboard my British Airways flight to Nice. In just over 2 hours
we had landed beside the sea on the Cote d'Azure. My final destination
is about 10km to the north, to the village of La Gaude which is just far enough
away from the busy coastal area.
- I go for
a stroll down town after to collect my travellers cheques as I am going on
holiday to Tenerife by plane from Birmingham next week.
