Aware that I had to travel in the middle of the day, I was up early and working at my desk by 6.55am. Delayed all my emails until 8.00am, though – people must wonder what’s going on when they suddenly receive multiple messages all at once!
I felt like I’d been working for ages and was really on top of things, then checked the clock and it was only 9.02am…
Work was busy enough, although still quieter than usual because of half-term. That won’t last long, though – it’ll soon liven up again.
Got everything packed and sorted, and then at 1.15pm, Tash, Jack and I headed off to Luton Airport, with Tash driving so I could keep working on the way. Everything went very smoothly – courtesy car drop-off, security and through to the pub in no time at all.
Had some food and I carried on working there too. Gate call came at 4.30pm which was basically my signal to stop working – perfect timing really.
The plane took off on time and I sat listening to music and podcasts while typing away on my diary. I was slightly worried about the hire car situation because it wasn’t actually at the airport and the office shut at 10.00pm, while we were due to land at 9.00pm. Felt a bit tight timing-wise.
Thankfully, the flight was excellent. We even had an extra seat as it wasn’t full, and we seemed to make up time in the air. Once landed, we got through security quickly and were soon onto the shuttle bus. We were comfortably ahead of schedule in the end and got picked up with another couple before being taken to the hire place.
Everything there went smoothly, too. Added Jack as an additional driver, and he took over responsibility for the next hour while we drove to the accommodation.
We’d planned to stop for food, but instead ended up at a supermarket getting immediate provisions. Nearly £8 for two burgers though – they’d better be incredible!
Carried on to the resort, collected the keys and found the apartment with no issues at all.
And actually, we’ve done really well with it. Jack has a room to himself and the apartment is huge. Very happy with that.
We unpacked and sorted ourselves out – Jack cooking while I got the WiFi connected. Thankfully that all worked perfectly too, so working remotely shouldn’t be a problem.
That was about it, really. Everyone was pretty tired from travelling so we headed to bed, although I then wasted another hour mindlessly scrolling on my phone for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Still, all sorted now and hopefully a really nice few days ahead.
End of Day Summary:
A smooth and stress-free travel day with everything falling into place nicely – flights, car hire and accommodation all worked out well. Excited now to properly enjoy the break ahead.
