Day 1

Tuesday 2^nd November 2010 @ 17:27 (GMT)

And we’re off!! Today we started our round the world trip. ROUND THE WORLD!! Wooooo hoooo.

Although so far nothing much has happened. We caught our connection to Heathrow on time, had a bottle of Moet in Terminal 5

and got on the flight to Rio – where we got more complimentary champagne, score!! Although we didn’t manage to secure an upgrade, despite numerous efforts and at least 5 not so subtle hints to anyone we thought was wearing a BA uniform.

“Have you heard? We’re on our honeymoon”

Suzi has watched Sex And The City 2 (yey). I have done a bit of Football Manager (FM10) (for those interested I’m managing Blackpool, I’m safely through the first round of the cup and after much searching plumped for Nacer Barazite to fill the “problem midfield area”).

Like I said nothing much has happened. I’m sat watching the screen roll around telling me how far we’ve come. Altitude 35000ft, Time to destination 6:35. Think I might make use of the free booze.

Suz looks like she’s gonna have a little nap, I’m off to play Watford away.

02:50 (GMT)

We're here, the flight was pretty good, free booze, lots of films to watch and FM10. Good times. We've just passed Christ The Redeemer on the way in, all lit up and overlooking Rio. Kinda feels like he's keeping an eye on the city.

We met John, our host for the week and are just about to crash and burn. Jonh tells us were right on the corner of Copacabana and Ipanema beach, cant wait to check that out tomorrow!!
