I, or at least my Secretary doing the bookings, really booked me an exhausting trip to San Diego where I was to present a paper at an oil spill conference. She booked me Cape Town to London (SAA round the bulge at this time), London to Dallas, Dallas to San Diego virtually non-stop. The longest wait over if I remember was three hours in Dallas. I got to the hotel in San Diego put my gear in the room, showered and changed and went looking for a quiet large drink. No sooner had I sat down than a young lady on roller blades screeches to a halt to take my drinks order. All the flights were excellent which is more than I can say recently.s Airport security, security. I know it is necessary but I have a knee replacement and a pin in my left ankle so you can imagine the problems I have.
