Introduction

Welcome to Flights Of The Feenix

This was originally to be titled Over The Hills, but some character of questionable parentage scythed that one from its stalk whilst I slept. Feenix is a name I used for several of my previous companies and flights refers not necessarily to air travel, but simply to all travel.

This is a collection of posts related to going to places. It includes such familiar topics as financial woes in foreign banks, questionable hotels, interesting restaurants, hopelessly inadequate travel arrangements and, in general, everything than can go – and has gone –wrong whilst traveling.

Almost by definition, writing of this type is only humorous and entertaining when critical. There’s very little of interest in a tale about a night in a hotel where everything was perfect, unless one happens to be a hotel connoisseur on the lookout for a decent review. I am not and, I suspect, nor are my readers…

So – keep Fawlty Towers in mind.
