You need 2 days to make it worth while for this world famous attraction. There's just too much to do in a day

I know but unfortunately I am pushed for time. Apparently if I go on a day where there is no slush on the ground and avoid the famous ‘walking trail of a middle class suburban housing estate’ then I might just about manage it.
According to the blokes I met the walking trail is not all it’s cracked up to be anyway.
Happened to a colleague a few years back.....flew to Joburg, didn’t have two pages blank in his passport so they wouldn’t let him in - they put him in a room until the first available flight back to the UK departed. Funny as ****, no-one liked him much anyway [emoji23][emoji23]
Had a former boss in the early 90s who went to NYC to sign a document - there and back same day via Concorde.
I’ve done Dubai to London and back the same day, with about 7 hrs in London, to renew a passport on the same day service.
Also - twice in quick succession - flown 14 hrs from Dubai to Sydney, landed in the morning and gone straight to work for a full day, spent one night in a hotel, another full day of work and then flown back out the second evening.

Bloody hell did the crow go via the Moon?
Is it?
Google tells me
“Often when we see drawings of the Earth and the moon, they look really close together. Don't be fooled! They're actually really far apart. The moon is an average of 238,855 miles (384,400 km) away.”

Pretty crazy as it's so draining, but I guess if you're flying first class and have a nice bed it's a lot more civilized.
A friend took me in his small Cessna to a show up the coast last week and we flew in and out of Van Nuys, which is the main private airport for LA - we landed back in the dinky little plane about 1.30am and the number of huge private jets - 50-100 million dollar gulf streams - that were loading up from SUVs on the tarmac at that time of night was insane. Was at least 6-7 of them getting ready to go in the middle of the night from a totally blacked out airport.. assumed it was people that had finished filming in LA for the day and were off somewhere (NY?) either home or to the next thing. Pretty crazy way to live!

Glasgow for an old firm game.

An uncle of mine was a tour operator and used to do day trips, a niche market for people who wanted to see the World, but get home to sleep in their own bed or feed the dog. Occasionally I got a free ticket if there was spare seats. Saw Moscow, Berlin the week the wall came down and the Swedish Father Christmas. Twas awesome stuff.

Oooh, we might have worked at the same place as I had a boss that also flew Concorde to sign a deal in NYC around that time - Sphere-Drake ?
So the point of your first post about the moon was what then?
Didn't they have a FAX machine?
And don't forget your duty free perfume or it really would be a wasted trip.
No....Lloyds Bank.....
