Here we go!!!!

Well guys and girls this is it, it seems like just five minutes ago in some ways that we finished riding at the last race in Portimao but whilst the breaks been nice i'm raring to go now!!! Today started with a real early start and a 2 and a half hour drive to Praque airport, that passed without any problems, then we met up with Midlife who brought me down some of my S.I.S energy drink that had been delivered to mums dumped the stuff in our bags then we dumped all our baggage at Gatwick before heading off into London to go to do a recording at the kiss FM studios, the trip there turned into an absolute bloody nightmare and it pretty much worked out that we could of flown from Praque to London and half way back in the time it took us to get from Gatwick to West London, i wasn't impressed i don't mind telling you!!!! Once there i had to do a recording for a promotion that my personal sponsors Express insurance are doing, i don't know if the recording's going onto their website or purely for radio use but you may get to here it if you go onto expressinsurance.co.uk!!!!

Petra and i then got ourselves onto the underground before getting the Gatwick express back to the airport then all we had to do was check in and go right......

Wrong, our Visa's that we had last year expire tomorrow and for some reason the new one's we'd applied for and been granted weren't showing so Emirates couldn't check us in, i immediately got on the phone to my travel agent who said they were done but again Emirates said no....eventually one of their staff called up and got a confirmation number for Petra and i so off we went back to check in and what happened, uh ah, computer says noooooo!!!!

I don't mind admitting that at this point i was starting to get a tiny bit nervous however 10 or 15 minutes later with some kind of government override we finally managed to get it all sorted and got checked in. On a brighter note i'm now sat in the business lounge and just had a lovely sheppards pie and vegetables and finally we can relax, we've got about 40 odd minutes now until we board so for now i'm outta here, i'm gonna do my very best via Twitter and my Blogs to keep you guys and girls 100% up to speed on what's going on so stay tuned ok, Shakey #67!!!
