Good nights sleep and a bloody good dinner at the Dog and Duck is a nice bit of luxury in the middle of several days at Santa Pod.

This Santa pod sounds like the track here no water,no toilets...........it will be just like home..only miles away,and yea a nice dinner at a nice place sounds like it will be needed after a day or 2 at the Pod

Actually the facilities there are not bad these days.

Years ago it was rather different.....

Yeah it was called Santa Poo for a while, but to be fair some folk raised the issue, Dave being one of them and the facilities have improved.

No I mean MANY years ago Wayne. When the loos were nothing more than a pit in the ground. I used to have trouble not being sick when using them back in the late 70s and early 80s. The stench was overwhelming when you were feeling rather delicate after drinking all night in the 24 hour bar they used to have.

Oh god Dave I know the feeling................ours were the same thing and when the temps got above 90 , you couldn't even stand within 100 ft with out gagging...............and using them in that heat.......well i would just hold it and hope I dont have to go #2

When nature be callin........your pants be fallin...

Like this chevy guy ordering from year one.........

HA hA JEEZE.................... Is that your neighbor Wayne giving you a wake up call?

I got a Mexican lion to keep an eye on Gib

I tell you what Drew. You will notice the difference in the amount of daylight we have up here at my place this time of year as I am at 55 degrees North. I think Denver is around 39 degrees?

The sun is going to wake you up in the early hours if you are not used to it and my bedroom curtains are not very good at blocking the light. There is still some little light in the sky at 11pm in the evenings too up here just now. Not so much by the time you get here though. At the end of June we only get about 3-4 hours of darkness.

I will just have to make sure you are very tired by the time you get to bed.

One of my nicest memories is of walking along Bamburgh beach still in daylight at nearly 11 at night and seeing porpoises frolicking about in the surf only 10 foot from where we stood, bloody brilliant

Yea this will be a little shock to the system,I usually get up early,but I am sure I will lose some sleep,

but hey it is vacation,I actually cant wait to see light in the sky at 11 pm.sounds cool to me...............the last 3 nights we have had t storms keep us awake until 11 pm so perhaps someone is training us

I am wondering how my body is affected by the time change,I havent really gone this far out of our time zone

Yes I will be taking Drew and Lisa to Bamburgh Castle. Although I think we will be damn lucky to see Porpoise because I never have. You do get the odd one that hangs around in the local harbours every now and again. But never when I am there.

Yes but 11am at yours is like Breakfast time at mine.

I think it will hit you harder when you go back as you will probably arrive at the same time you left!
