This year 2010 has been full of disastrous travel, whether it be volcanic ash clouds, indian visa immigration officials, sickness or national political travel strikes by Nepali maoists.....well the latest, is the snow at Heathrow, to finish off the year completely. After a two month trip to Nepal, I was stuck in Delhi for several days due to my Kingfisher plane being stuck in Brussels because they had 'run out of de-icer'. Classic!!
So after being told I could only fly back to the UK on Boxing Day and with my only 'Christmassy' encounter in the December run-up, being with a half sized felt Santa at a Christmas Bazaar in Kathmandu, I thought Christmas was going to be cancelled for me this year....
Luckily, I got bundled onto a flight with another airline on 22nd and made it home in time for the festivities, for a well needed catch up with my family and friends. Its great going to Nepal for Nov/Dec as you dont have any of the commercial Christmas stuff wearing you down, and you get back (luckily!) for the celebrations to spend time with everyone you love - Happy Christmas to all!!!
