Why don't the phone manufacturers all build phones that power from USB. So annoying to have gone to the US taking my UK power supply.
Most computer appliances etc have power adaptors that can use 100V or 240V. Must be cheaper for the companies as well if they used that as a standard.
Argh!
Just got in from having a Japanese dinner at the equivalent of 3am UK time. Managed to stay awake pretty easily and get down to some pigging out on the first night of our holidays. Went to Rangetsu on International Drive for some Japanese food, which is only a short walk from our residence at the Hilton Embassy Suites.
For just under $120, (£60) we had a couple of cocktails, 2 large bottles of Sapporo, pickled veg and seafood, edamame, mixed tempura plus I had sushi/sashimi combo as a main and Angela ordered a steak dinner after talking about getting a Chirashi rice dinner. Unfortuantely they brought the raw seafood chirashi rice dish instead.
Angea asked them to stir fry the raw food up and stick it back on top of the rice. 
Would have been embarassing but it was their fault. The embarassing bit of the day was when the sniffer dog hunted down Angela's apples just before immigration. Hmmm, on the spot fine was on the cards.
It was a fairly large glass fronted building with a huge multi tiered koi pond with waterfalls.
Service was typically good.
We have safely arrived in Orlando.
Got to Gatwick in good time and started to queue up. Was told our flight was delayed by about an hour and a half. They offered us the earlier plane taking off in about 50 minutes and be upgraded to Premium Economy on Virgin. Ah great we thought, trying not to break out into cheesy smiles, having just checked in bag in they said that someone else has taken the other place. So we could have the one in each class or two in economy.
Well, I couldn't really let Ange stay in Economy by herself could I. The sacrifices I make! Damn.
So much for the glass of champagne Mrs Virgin co-ordinator. Probably a cunning ploy to release two seats for the later flight.
Next BBQ on the beach is the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend. Hopefully the weather will be just as good as it has been over the last week.Not sure whether Angela wants it on the Friday or Saturday yet but pencil those days in your diary.
Haven't had a swim lately so may break out the shorts for a dip.
Can't afford to host another big hotel bash for our anniversary so you will have to make do with this.
Just got back from the North East. Scorchio but not as hot as down South I hear. 30 degrees driving on the M1
Aidan and Joshua
We and the nephews went out for dim sum for dad's birthday on Sunday.
Gordon and Angela Fong - living in Southbourne, working hard, enjoying life, travelling the world, eating great food and drinking some nice tipple along the way.
Give us a wave.
