On Thursday morning we headed off to Manchester airport after a little last minute packing. Dave kindly gave us a lift and we made it there with plenty of time :) Once settled in the lounge we grabbed some breakfast (at midday this was really lunch #1) and wasted time on the Internet until our flight.
A quick, easy flight down to London and it was time for lunch number two, accompanied by some wine :) Then more Internet before a mad dash to the gate having realised we were late! Arrived to find lots of people hanging around and an announcement that we would be delayed at least an hour :(
So we found a seat nearby so we could hear the announcements. Chris did some more work and I kept myself quiet with some colouring :)
The captain gave a few candid announcements about the problem – there was a dent which hadn’t been spotted and it needed to be checked, either 1 hour or 4 hours or a new plane! Thankfully it was the former and it wasn’t too long before we were onboard and then in the air :)
At this point we were given lunch #3 according to the menu (though even if we’d been on time, it would have been late for lunch!)
A strange cream cheese pans cotta to start which didn’t really taste of anything :( The salady bits were all good though :)
Then some beef with garlic mash. This was followed by a little ice cream :)
The flight was fairly uneventful. We watched some Futurama and then dozed to some music. Woke up just before they turned lights back on and grabbed a little chocolate snack before they served us afternoon tea (tiny sandwiches and tiny cakes!)
So that was 3 lunches and an afternoon tea! It was now 8am UK time and bodies thoroughly confused!
We got out of the airport, grabbed our rental car, and then to the Luxor :) Checked into our pyramid suite :)
We headed down to the food court to grab a burger as it was already too late for a restaurant and we were exhausted, and then slept :)
