So we’re off and on our way to Thailand. Woke up with hangovers after last night’s party, all of us struggling a bit to be honest! Drank too much yesterday which wasn’t the best idea. Packed up the car and met Mum & Derek at theirs and then drove (very slowly) to Heathrow Airport, dropped off the luggage with minimum fuss and said our goodbyes to Derek and made our way through to passport control and all that. Derek seemed a little lost at the airport and also seemed disappointed he wasn’t coming with us, we’ll have to remind him of that feeling next time we organise something so he doesn’t make the rash decision not to come along. Mind you, we do push ourselves!!
Not much of interest in and around the airport, usual thing. Boarded the plane and prepared ourselves for the 7 hour flight, blankets and all the usual things, nice flight with good food and plenty of choice for watching the TV – I took the opportunity to watch the second 300 film – really enjoyed it. Fell asleep for a couple of hours but it’s not comfortable at all.
Landed at Abu Dhabi airport and found out some bad news…our flight wasn’t delayed for much time, it was completely cancelled!! They’d known this at Heathrow but hadn’t warned us. So while we’re at the airport 6.00am their time we were told we were being given a hotel for a few hours to relax and sleep which in fact worked out well. So at 9.00am we got the transfer to Abu Dhabi hotel and checked in…
