Thanks for the comments.

It is not a particular hang up of mine to travel in a suit, but I cannot get the hang of packing the jacket so it comes out wearable - so I wear it on the plane! All tips great fully received.

The IOM airport is a bit more modern now, having had an extension about 7 years ago, but it is a nice easy airport to get through, although it does seem t have the most draconian security in the world - shoes, belts, watches, laptops, iPads, liquids in a fully sealable bag (my normal bag which I use everywhere else in the world often gets put into another bag by security at Ronaldsway) etc. etc.

In terms of the TT I wouldn't say fan, but lots of my friends are. I will happily watch he bikes, and soak up the atmosphere, and as you say the riders are very brave and very skilled, but this year I went on holiday instead as it is a school holiday time on the rock.

I apologise for some of the picture quality, I am just using my iPad with no editing, and posting as I go.

A few more legs to come over the next couple of days.
