2007 travel meme
This meme from gerald_duck.
Places I stayed overnight in 2007:
- Early Febuary: Luxor, Egypt (1 week, with Jen). Best holiday ever; Egypt is an amazing place. I'm sure this will be the main enduring good memory of the year, possibly the decade.
- Early April: Isle of Mull (1 week, with extended family). Acquired large scar on knee by unimpressively falling over.
- Late April: Coventry (2 nights, one of which was with Jen). Presented a poster on my research, and explored the countryside with Jen.
- Late May: St Johann, Austria (1 week, with my mother). Pleasant last-minute holiday.
- Early July: Cleveleys, Lancashire (1 night). Visiting my grandfather shortly before he died :-(.
- Mid-September: Crestatx, Majorca (1 week, with family). Holiday in the middle of a month of doing far too much.
- Late September: Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium (4 nights, with Jen). Shadow TPC meeting, extended into a mini-holiday.
- Early October: Blackpool (1 night, with Jen). Apparently Jen didn't consider me to be her boyfriend by this time, although she put on the act for my grandmother and me.
- Late December: Denholme, West Yorkshire (13 nights, 12 of which were in the year in question). Christmas and New Year with family.
There were also several day trips to London, for work and for fun, and a rather long day trip to Lancashire to attend my grandfather's funeral as a coffin-bearer (which I almost missed due to epic Virgin Trains fail).
Goodness, that's quite a lot. I feel like I need a year to relax ;-)
