The Red Suitcase Diaries: May 2008
http://redsuitcasediaries.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
The Red Suitcase Diaries. Saturday, 17 May 2008. I can't believe it - one year has flown by already. This time last year I had only just arrived in London, wide eyed and wondering what on earth this city was all about. I can't say I loved the place when I first arrived and looking back I would say it definitely took a good three months to really start to appreciate the hidden gems amongst everything this city has to offer. The Norroy Road Vortex and associated crew. After that - we shall see! This is a t...

The Red Suitcase Diaries. Monday, 27 October 2008. Was I Dreaming (Part III): Split. On Saturday morning I blearly woke to feel the boat already motoring along the coast towards Split. Just before 9am we pulled into the port at Split, packed our bags, did the best clean up of the boat that we could manage (it still looked like it had been hit by a bomb) and thanked Papa for putting up with us for 3 nights. With that he looked at us, threw his hands in the air and said,. Back at the hostel I made new frie...

The Red Suitcase Diaries: February 2008
http://redsuitcasediaries.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
The Red Suitcase Diaries. Monday, 11 February 2008. It's been a big weekend. A combination of birthday celebrations and a going away party for one of our favourite Perth-London couples, Mel and Stu. At least we will all positively look forward to the day we end up living back in Perth again - to catch up back home and reminisce about the London days. I can't wait. Bon voyage guys! But I promise you this. I'll always look out for you. That's what I'll do". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A and A in Africa.

The Red Suitcase Diaries: Was I Dreaming? (Part II): All aboard the SS Paradise

The Red Suitcase Diaries. Wednesday, 27 August 2008. Part II): All aboard the SS Paradise. With the festival finished we had two days left in Petrcane which we used to catch up on sleep and discover the delicious menus of the local restaurants. Dinner always proved to be quite a production with at least 20 of us descending upon the small family run restaurants of Petrcane and feasting until our bellies were full. And so began our cruise down the coast. Our third day aboard the SS Paradise finished as we ...

The Red Suitcase Diaries. Saturday, 26 January 2008. Festas De Sant Sebastia (part II of my Mallorcan weekend away). I really did manage to pick an exceptional weekend to visit Mallorca. We landed right in the midst of Palma's festival for its patron saint, Saint Sebastian. The festival was quite the set up. Each plaza had its own stage, with makeshift bars set up here, there and everywhere. Barbecues were dotted around and everyone in the festive mood. The beckoning bright blue skies peeping through the...

The Red Suitcase Diaries: March 2008

The Red Suitcase Diaries. Friday, 28 March 2008. Seeing as we never got a white Christmas, just a nice grey, drizzly winters day, who would ever have thought that 3 months later I would wake on Easter Sunday to look out the window and see snowflakes fluttering past? Friday, 14 March 2008. Challenging" is the first word that pops into my head when I am asked how my week in Italy was. The second thing that pops into my head is pain, namely my bruised knees (which are still swollen, almost a week now af...

The Red Suitcase Diaries: A Belgian City Break
http://redsuitcasediaries.blogspot.com/2008/11/belgian-city-break.html
The Red Suitcase Diaries. Monday, 3 November 2008. A Belgian City Break. 18 - 20 July 08). I nearly didn't make it to Belgium for the weekender planned in Brussels with my older brother. A stressful 45 minutes later I met my rather distressed brother at the Eurostar station and we made a beeline for our platform. We made our way through passport control and dashed to our carriage just as the last boarding call went out over the station. Maybe if I hadn't just finished a massive two week holiday in Croati...

The Red Suitcase Diaries. Monday, 28 April 2008. A Very Vegas Weekend. It was time, finally, for the third installment of the London Puff Parties and this time the theme celebrated the glitzy, gaudy world of Vegas and all things SHAM. Happily Ever After. and other sham wedding tales. Kicked off on Friday night at the lavish Soho club Studio Valbonne. After getting over the hangover from the Friday night I was rapt to have had the foresight to purchase a Fat Freddy's Drop. Friday, 18 April 2008. Sunday da...
