Think about the last time you travelled anywhere…Its fresh in my mind as I just got back from France 2 days ago and this time I actually drove down. I remember getting out of the Eurotunnel and putting the address of my hotel in my Satellite navigation device; it calculated the time-of arrival, which was roughly 4 hours – sigh!
