Post Vacation!

And so I'm back at work!  It does feel good to be flying again but I do feel a bit blunt!  It seems like ages since I have been in the air, as before vacation I was in the simulator and after vacation I was teaching some safety equipment recurrent courses.  Its been a good tour though, with plenty of flying and all good weather!  We started in Geneva where we picked the aircraft up and flew to Athens empty, which is a good thing because strong winds gave us a rough ride on the way in!  We picked up the passengers and flew them to Cannes - I love the approach into Cannes as you actually get to fly it instead of the autopilot, and it can be challenging.  Also had a fantastic meal out on the tip that we received! We stayed the night there before taking going to Eindhoven and then on to Le Havre for the night - another great meal was had, but the weather was a bit cooler after what we had experienced in Geneva, Athens and Cannes!  From Le Havre we had our busy day - four flights taking us back to Geneva, then to Calabria in southern Italy, on to Milan Linate and finally ending up in Barcelona!  This was to be our last day, so we shared some tapas and wine in a restaurant just down from the hotel and woke up this morning to find the hotel was right on the beach!  I am finishing a day early, with an airline home in the late afternoon, which allows me some beach time!  I love my job!
