The flight eventually arrived at 22 minutes past midnight. We're flying out this Thursday, although luckily on the VS27 (I can't see them getting the VS15 back on schedule that quickly). Still, this thread has allowed me to consider my reaction should we get a similar delay and, whilst I don't relish the prospect, I'll hold on to the thought that I'll still be on holiday when I wake up the next morning.

Both the VS15 and the VS27 were around 5 hours late taking off today. The 27 was delayed due to a stopover for a medical emergency on the inbound, apparently. Looks as though I may be needing to draw on that philosophical approach.

We finally made it about 20 past 12, if that wasn't bad enough we had to wait about another 10-15 min to get off the plane.
We got to the hotel in record time I think it was just after half 1, (good navigating at immigration by me! LOL) so around an hour after we got off the plane, clear immigration, get the hire car and drive down to the 192.

It has been incredibly warm and the humidity has been really high the last couple of days and I've never see the traffic so busy

Time to head off for tonight's celebrations.


Happy New Year everyone

Forgot to say, the delay was due to the plane hitting a pelican when it was taking off from Tobago on Thursday. It hit the pelican when it was taking off and it damaged the nose cone so the weather radar had to be fixed, this then caused the knock on effect.

Was the pelican injured?
