Travel Insurance sorted!

Thanks to the guys over at Axa and Amex… 12 months insurance for the price of 3!!! No, I don’t understand it either but hey ho.

Still trying to work out whether to take a shedload of Travellers’ Cheques or just use a card and be at the mercy of the cash machines in Asia… Any thoughts on this one?

So we’re leaving on Thursday the 8th. S & J will be completing on their house purchase on the 31st so sh0uld be able to attend their housewarming before we leave.

The most important thing though is that I’ll be able to watch at least 2 episodes of Doctor Who with Matt Smith. Still reserving judgement until I’ve seen a few episodes. He does look like the Eric Stolz character from Mask 😉

It’s been far too long!

Way too long since my last post but have been going back and forth with the various travel agencies for our trip. We’ve now added on Bali… So here’s the final itinerary

14 nights in and around North India (dropped Goa from the trip as the connections were a nightmare!)

14 nights in Kerala

14 nights in Sri Lanka

7 nights in Bangkok

14 nights in and around Phuket

7 nights in Kuala Lumpur

7 nights in Bali

7 nights in Singapore… then back to London in early July!

Fingers crossed we won’t face any issues with the BA cabin crew strike!

Thanks again to Emma over at TFC for coming up with a great itinerary and some truly wonderful hotels!

Busiest Saturday for a while…

Started early… Got Little L ready at 7am for her first ever trip to the cinema. Went to see Monsters vs Aliens which was actually a lot of fun.

Later on we met up with Sara, Rex, Leela and Austin and had a good catch up. Not a bad pub with a great play area for the kids.

Then after a quick pit-stop we went to Mum’s and had more food!

Sorry for the delay!!!

Yes, hectic day today. Had sushi lunch with Mr O. at Life on Old Street and had a Big Ben burger for dinner. Well and truly stuffed.

Anyway, back to business!

Went into K. today and discovered that the interconnecting flights have massive gaps in between. For example, we arrive at 11am and the connecting flight departs at 8pm – what kind of logic were they applying when coming up with the quote? WE HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD TRAVELLING WITH US!!!

Anyway, the kind lady @ K. is working on it to get it sorted!

Okay… making some real progress now

Got the video plugin working, although I need to tweak the conversion settings… There’s no need for 16-bit stereo is there?

Costi @ Beepweb has been incredibly helpful in getting this up and running.

Starting on the French version of the site now with a view that C will have this up and running by the end of the weekend.

Going to try and get some AVCHD footage up shortly and see how the site copes with it!

Travel Blog

Okay, enough with the limitations of using WordPress.com – too many fees to upload media etc.

Anyway, had the ok from my medical team re’ vaccinations etc so had a few today. Left arm is a bit achey so might end up driving the automatic later today.

For those visiting from my starter WordPress.com site, this is where all blog posts will appear from now on. So bookmark banerjee-quetel.com and you’ll come straight here!

I’m going to add to this blog fairly regularly… hopefully I’ll work out how to post video and audio soon – I have a bit of a learning curve here!

Keep reading and we’ll be in touch soon!

Mostly about our big trip but includes some other stuff too
