Get well soon Joey :)

Yes, pretty much. Driven to Folkestone/Dover area and got a cheap Premier Inn on Friday night, get an early ferry/train on Saturday morning and join the cruise to the Brewery. I've had a hotel usually on the Saturday night, but it can be a pain as they are often out of town and needed taxi's...
