UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 23 Mar 2013 | Views [338]

There's been a lot happening in the past couple of months and I thought it was time I finally put some of it down. Tish and I arrived back to the UK in late January after a great few months in Australia. While at home, we spent two months working back ... Read more >


North, south and a few things in between

UNITED KINGDOM | Sunday, 23 Sep 2012 | Views [427]

After arriving back from Holland, I headed up to Burnley in Lancashire for three weeks' work, while Tish stayed in Wisbech.  Burnley was a fantastic job. Unfortunately I didn't have a car for the trip and stayed at a B&B nearby the clinic. Staying ... Read more >

The Final Week

COLOMBIA | Friday, 20 Apr 2012 | Views [373]

Hello all again! The trek from Quito to Bogota proved to be a long but enjoyable one with several highlights. I didn't find Quito all that inspiring but spent a rainy day there getting affairs in order before my departure. I headed up to the 'Mitad ... Read more >


The Galapagos!

ECUADOR | Thursday, 12 Apr 2012 | Views [527] | Comments [1]

Despite the trials of south American transit we did eventually make it to Baltra, Galapagos on time as scheduled. The adventure restarted immediately on arrival as we had forgotten the $100 entrance fee into the islands... Oops! We managed to scrape ... Read more >

Bolivian Befuddlement

BOLIVIA | Sunday, 18 Mar 2012 | Views [340]

Time for a long overdue blog session! I´m writing from Cuzco, Peru but feel that the 12 days spent in Bolivia deserve a story of their own! We entered Bolivia through Villazon, north of Salta, Argentina and bussed through to Tupiza. It was clear straight ... Read more >


Greetings from Salta

ARGENTINA | Tuesday, 28 Feb 2012 | Views [512]

Well... It has been a long time since the first and last blog on the Latin American experience - a lot has happened in the interim. Carnaval in Rio was a hectic experience - there is no exaggeration at all in the stories of partying all night-sleeping ... Read more >

The AAEP Convention

USA | Tuesday, 22 Nov 2011 | Views [317] | Comments [1]

Keep on truckin'. That's classic Heather Grant. The Convention has progressed well - today's talks were excellent. Socially I've had a great time (my liver has not) but it has been sometimes hard to dodge the assumption I'm a young vet/intern ... Read more >


Downtown San Anton'

USA | Sunday, 20 Nov 2011 | Views [426] | Comments [1]

Texans choose to drop the 'io' off the end Antonio... I think it's for effect. Well...! What an amazing few days it has been. To pick up where I left off - I continued to Dallas on Tuesday night as planned... but there's a kicker. On Tuesday ... Read more >

Welcome to my first venture into travel blogging! This is a trial run for my more extensive travels next year so it may be simple and a corny way of keeping a journal but part of being a sensitive,new-age guy is that I stay new-age. I haven't really ... Read more >
