This is more a journal of my journey with no wildlife until tomorrow!
I recently read through the online journals of my trip to Sri Lanka last November. (2012) It occurred to me that this is going to be nice for my grandchildren to know what their grandad and who knows, great grandad was up to and it may also be nice in my old age to look back and read about my own exploits. Imagine how tremendously interesting it would be to read the diaries of my own grandfather and of his time in the Great War. As we make our way up the motorway through the misty rain, a portent of the English winter to come perhaps, I have been snoozing and dreaming of the birds and wildlife that I am excited about re-acquainting myself with on the beaches, wetlands and parks of South Florida. Huddersfield is our next stop and a quick visit to my son and his family and of course one of those grand children.
We'll spend the night in a Manchester hotel before flying to Philadelphia in the morning.
The second leg is under way now, the train from Huddersfield to Manchester and things are going reasonably well. Its now cold, miserable and dreary, all the more exciting to know that by this time tomorrow we will be in Florida. All around me, people are on their mobile phones, a disease that needs to be addressed before the rest of us go mad! There's a bit of excitement as a fellow traveller tries to convince the ticket inspector that he didn't mean not to have a ticket!
