Stay powered up at the go together with the Aileron portable solar strength financial institution that draws on solar rays to offer your phone some more juice. I’ve been traveling for over 40 years – by thumb in my early days, by boots in the Scouts, a Lambretta came next and then my first old banger followed by newer old bangers to the beaches of the Costa Brava. My thumb, boots, bikes, and bangers took me all over Europe and the UK before finding that a charter flight to Spain on an old ‘Connie’ could get me to the beaches and bars a lot quicker and allow more time to enjoy the local travel opportunities by horse and cart and the occasional bus and train.
‘Go West and Prosper’ seemed to be a good idea, so instead of taking an 8-hour flight, I took an 8-day transatlantic crossing from Tilbury to Montreal on the Stephan Batory of Polish Ocean Lines ensuring jet lag does not trouble my travel plans. Some years later, I crossed the pond again on a ship, but this time, it was 5 times bigger, and I traveled in style on the QE2 and dined in the Queen’s Grill, somewhat removed from my earlier experience. I highly recommend ocean voyages but cannot see myself on one of the modern cruise ships going from port to port with constant line-ups to get on and off to buy t-shirts. However, I have done 10 Windjammers and a Star Clipper cruise in the Caribbean, which were all memorable (let’s hope Windjammer Barefoot Cruises recover from their woes). But I digress.
