Early starts

Today started at 3.30am, with a taxi collecting me at 4am to get me to Dublin Airport for a 6.20 flight to Paris. All being well this post is scheduled to be uploaded not long after I take off from Charles de Gaulle for Yerevan (to the right), the capital of Armenia. I was hoping to catch up on some work-related reading on the two flights but I suspect it’ll be an uphill battle. I’m definitely not a morning person and I can’t sleep on planes so I’ll probably be just vegetating between bouts of trying to concentrate. I’m really looking forward to taking a brief look at Armenia. I just hope I manage to get through immigration. It’s a long way to travel to get denied a visa at passport control (which is where you apply for one). For those wondering where it is, it’s a landlocked country surrounded by Turkey, Iran, Georgia and Azerbaijan – see Wikipedia
