We’re getting the bug for this blogging lark! This will be the place we keep everyone up to date with what we are up to on our long trip to Hawaii in August 2013.
This is the blog page. This is where we share longer articles, which aim to share important concepts and ideas. It is also the general page for showing author, category, tag and time-based archives.
Posts are normally shown in reverse chronological order, in groups of 10, but you can adapt the results using the controls below.
This is an archive showing posts assigned to tag: CX.

I’ve just spent the last three weeks flying around the world. Well — to be completely accurate — I’ve flown around half of the world and then back again the same way.

It was mad for pickups at the hotel, but my Grab taxi managed to wind its way through all of the other cabs. For less than £2, its just a no-brainer to avoid the walk and getting sweaty on the way.

By this point, I could definitely feel that I was properly into the swing of things. Hong Kong had become something of a base for the Asia phase of my Round The World trip, and staying in the same hotel each time simplified everything enormously.

This was probably the trip I’ve had the least involvement in organising — which, for anyone who knows me, will sound faintly unbelievable.

I’ve wanted to do a Round the World (RTW) trip for as long as I can remember. It was always one of those “one day” ideas — something the Vickster and I might build into a future Australia trip, or perhaps save for a milestone year.
