I am now back in the UK following the completion of my fair weather flight training in Phoenix Arizona. I have now been back for over a month and have been working towards my IR here in the UK.
Over a few drinks in London, a friend asked as to the reason for my lack of posts. Whilst I had envisaged having lots of free time in America being sat by the pool in between flights, therefore having time to post liberally, this was not the case at all.
Early morning flights had me wake at 0300hrs in the morning to plan, pre-flight and a host of other things. This happened all too often, leaving me back in the apartment by 0900hrs but being shattered at the same time. So, every moment when I wasn't in the air or in the crew room waiting/planning to go in the air, I would be catching up on much needed sleep.
This not being the only excuse; when there was no sleep to catch up on and we were off duty and having bottle to throttle hours to spare, we would be routinely going out drinking, socialising and frequenting the local bars and clubs.
Thus, for the duration of the five month stint in the States, my free time exclusively adopted a few hobbies; sleeping, drinking, socialising and clubbing.
Here above are the reasons for the no-posts. Hopefully I can post more regularly now I am back in the UK, but suffice to say, those activities listed above, take precedence over blogging..
