I've gone on holiday by mistake
24 May 2007. Inspired by stopovers.
A 4am wake-up call, a hungry airline seat pocket and a missing passport later, and I've ended up in South Beach, Miami while I collect a temporary passport from the lovely people at the British Consulate. There are worse purgatories to suffer while in diplomatic limbo.
Thankfully, I now have my own smooth red-backed permit to travel, so I leave for Guatemala in three hours. Yes, you did miss a meeting, but don't worry, I'll be back soon. Ish.
