To all, thanks for the kind words. Catching my breath now, I think most of what I needed to do has been done by now.
- Last details with dealer: check - Car insured:check - Train to Algarve in a few hours. Buy tickets: check - Algarve hotel near the airport. hotel booking: check - Morning flight to Birmingham: book tickets: check
And I even have already booked an hotel in Ireland, can't wait to meet a few of the world famous PaddyMogs if that becomes possible
Also, and since today's a lucky day, I had in the post the 500 £ voucher Britanny ferries (for cancelling the previous schedueld trip) so all is not lost, I will be able to use it on my return).
Lastly, I great and very touched THANK YOU to Whirewheel for his kind offer. I am however pleased to report that Morgan (MMC) is going to send someone to pick me (and my wife) up at the Birmingham Airport and take us to Malvern, so there's no need for you to bother.
Leaving home in about one hour. Goggles in hand. Will keep reporting as I can, and will of course take as many pictures and videos as possible of this adventure!
Cheers all, TM is really a nice place to be part of! And of course if anyone feels like meeting up at Malvern tomorrow afternoon, I'll be delighted!
