Today is Travel Day! The day we’ve been counting down to for weeks now - from about 21 sleeps. It’s been a hard slog at times, packing the house up, getting rid of some stuff (sometimes a bit emotional) and asking people to ‘look after’ furniture etc for 12 months for us! Sean and Lisa are moving into our house today so it’s exciting for them too - and Marley has a new mam and dad and best friend in Bronson! Sure he’s gonna be spoiled rotten! Saying our goodbyes has been hard - especially to family and special friends - gonna miss you all so much! We’ve eaten so much in the past month or so having farewell meals with people - the diet’s gotta start very soon!!!
We’ve been awake since about 4am, finally packing - yes we left it ‘til the last minute to pack our bags - but to be honest there wasn’t a lot left in the house to pack!! Final clear up, putting the last bits and pieces in the attic and leaving the house as empty as possible (except for Marley) for Sean and Lisa. Helen took us to Newcastle airport (thanks Helen!) and a quick flight through to Heathrow. The first of several flights in the coming days. Only one hitch so far when the bag containing all my insulin was pulled to one side for ‘inspection’ … but nothing to do with my insulin … Geoff’s fishing jacket had scissors in it! So not my fault for once!!!
So … as I write we’re at Heathrow airport - the trauma of finding terminal 3 - but now safely settled in a bar having a pie and pint - we now have about 4 hours to wait before our flight to Singapore. But - so far so good. And so our adventure begins …..
Ooops glad it was Geoff's fault and not yours ;-)) Glad to hear you arrived in Singapore safely. Hope the rest of your journey goes as well.
