Up early and finished things off. Showed Charlotte and Miles around some of the features of Vinnie as they’ll be using him whilst we’re away. Zoe and Niamh came round as a surprise to see us off which was lovely because Rash was a bit sad that she’d not heard from her.
Various well wishing messages in the morning that was nice and at 9.00am we were on our way!! Traffic to Gatwick was no problem at all and said our goodbyes and let Miles drive off with Vinnie and we ventured into the terminal for the start of our 6 week adventure!
No problems at all, although I got picked up by the scanner and they said “get used to it” when I said about my metal hip!
Breakfast and beers and posted on social media what we were doing and of course then got loads of good luck messages which was great. Lots of tears from Tash each time the kids wrote. But at the time of writing this she’s fine (we’re on the plane and 20mins from Doha).
Flight has been good 6hrs. Food was fine and had a number of beers!! Decent films and music. We’re in Doha for an hour or so waiting for our connecting flight. So just about to land and will update this later.
A good start so far!!
Arrived in Doha and through checks, VERY busy airport. 3hrs ahead. Leaving at 1.30am local time. Tash taking sleeping tablets! This is a 7hr flight and the flight demo was a brilliant video. V funny.
Very good flight. Arrival at the KL airport was 1.00pm on day 2 so I will close this diary entry off for today.
A great start to why we hope will
Be an amazing adventure.
