The journey started in the sexy location of the West Midlands, England. A last minute curry in Coventry, then a quick dash over to Wolverhampton to say goodbye to the folks set the trip up nicely. It was an early run to Heathrow (where I saw Clive Woodward) to catch the plane to Caracas and I was off.
