Arlene's Sky Dive

The Journey Begins....

Day 1 of the trip, and all started well, up early to finally finish cleaning the house ( thanks for the help Cruse). Did all the last minute visiting that we could manage, before setting off 15 Min's earlier than planned. Drove to Glasgow airport with families in tow ( 4 cars worth ) and arrived in plenty of time. Walked in to find that the flight wasn't on the board so went to the desk to find out why. Arlene then opened up the booking form, to see that we were flying from EDINBURGH.

Frantic phone calls later and a quick drive, only slightly quicker than the limit honest mum, and we made it to Edinburgh with a few seconds to spare. Well we are going away looking for adventure and excitement.

So it was a far too quick, and sad farewell to both families, and a sprint on to the plane...well a fast walk anyway.

Arrived in London, to find that the booking form for the hotel was lost in the rush, and we had a different opinion as to where we were staying. 2 hours and 2 hotels later we arrived in to our room... thankfully it was a free upgrade to an executive room. :) Now assuming that this is the standard of accommodation which we will have for the rest of the trip.

Rio here we come :) X X X
