Richard in England travel blog

Richard in England

This wasn't my idea - Somebody told me to do this, and then another person and another. So here I am, beginning to slog through a blog to share my experiences in jolly old. The trip will start on September 9th when I fly from Calgary to London, and end on my birthday, September 26th, when I make the return flight from Manchester back to Calgary. I will sail in the World Masters competition at Hayling Island and then visit long-lost English cousins. If you really don't care what I do on my holiday then don't log on again - hey, I'm good with that! If you choose to stick around I'll try not to bore you to tears....
