Sunday 29th April!
This is it! Final check around the flat, pick up all the cases and head to management to leave the keys!
As soon as we got to the front, we had a taxi……bundling bags, cases, jumpers, waterproof coats we joked with the driver, “can you guess where we want to go???”……….

Check in was fast, so we made our way to Duty Free……a few perfume purchases later we ended up looking for watches…..well……..looking to compare the real prices of our Karama specials!!!!!!
The main problem with not having room in your case is carrying the spare clothes with you!!! Basically walking round like a pack horse…..i couldn’t fit 2 thick hoodies and a waterproof coat, so I had them trailing over my arm….and was getting rather warm…..so out came CJDs Sack in a Pack!!! Or from now on Sack Magic!!!! It was a stripey little number more than big enough to contain our clothing although I looked like an OAP out on a shopping trip!!!
I spotted a sign to Irish Village….well that was it!!! WE HAD to find it! A nice pint and it was time to board!
We were split up!!! I think it may have been a function of our over pleasant nature at check in….well we did have a combined weight of 67.4kg that we didn’t pay any excess for!!!!! He saw we had business tickets and used us as filler for single seats on the plane……SOOOOoooooo bored, I decided to play with the phones and ended up ringing the mad woman that CJD was sat next to by accident!!! OOOooops. It was rather amusing as it meant that CJD had to communicate with her to explain why the phone was ringing! In between this woman flailing her arms in the air as she did her “exercises”????
My film choice was a bit dire and I must have had 10 min sleep…….as we came into approach……I was awoken to put my seat upright! GDI! 7hrs and I finally drop to sleep for only 10 mins and they wake me!Back to Blighty! WOW how green is this place! It was sunny and dry…..thank god, at least it wasn’t raining! Said a quick good bye to CJD and headed to the house!........strange to be back…..but nice to relax………and I have 2 weeks to chill!!!!!!!
