The Journey Begins...

Well, it began with an email from British Airways at 08:30 saying our flight from Manchester down to Gatwick at 12:20 had been cancelled! The next one wasn't until 5pm, cutting it way too fine for the connection, so we ended up flying to Heathrow and getting the shuttle bus down to Gatwick.

When we arrived in Manchester Airport to check in our bags, N_M suddenly realised he hadn't got his briefcase. We looked out of the terminal to see it being carried into a building across the road. I ran, (and I don't do that often), and found it was in the car rental area, together with 2 security guards. I had to describe the contents, and explain how it ended up being left on the pavement! The daft sod forgot to pick it up when his dad got it out of the car boot!

So onto Heathrow, then Gatwick on the coach, to check into our Yotel. What a fabby place! www.yotel.com Very futuristic, with lots of buttons to press! Internet access, a wide screen telly, food, a comfy bed, everything we could ask for.

So then himself decides to go out for a smoke and he's gone ages. He comes back having been stopped by the Police for a Stop & Search!! They're stopping all single blokes walking around the airport. So that's our 3 things which have gone wrong, hopefully all over with today!

We fly just after 8pm and arrive tomorrow afternoon, so here's signing off for now. :)
