Ok so it has really started. I have just had a call from my Mum and dad from Publix (!!!) to say they have arrived safely. They picked up the car with no problems and have already put their stuff in the villa. He says it is very hot and humid. The thought of them being there makes me v excited for our trip! Not long now.........
On a bad note I am hating
Virgin Atlantic!!! We prebooked our seats with them 290ish days ago and we booked row 32 - the 4 seats across the middle - there and back. We checked and they have moved us to row 64 - the next to last back row of the plane next to the loos! How rude!
Anyway I threw a major tantrum on the phone and they can't move us back. We have to try to change them back at check-in as noone is actually in our seats - they are holding them back to be released on the day! I did point out that they have already been released but got some rubbish excuse as to why they have changed them - operational changes I think - god knows what they are.
They also have changed the time of our internal transfer from Edinburgh because the flight was cancelled. That is understandable but what is a total pain is that they didn't think to tell us. Good job we checked the fine print today or we would have got to the airport at the wrong time.
Last time we flew with them - despite ordering one - they did not have a childs meal for DD so she ate nothing as didn't want the adult one. They probably gave it to someone else who had forgotten to request one! If that happens again it will be the straw that breaks the camels back!
So all in all seriously thinking of using BA next year. Virgin have a lot of making up to do!!!!!
On a lighter note we are tidying and packing with a vengence. We have decided not to go to the Christening on Sunday as it is too far to go when we have such a lot to do. We will catch up with those friends when we get home.
Tomorrow we are off to my brothers house for a 30th birthday BBQ! Weather is due to be good - sunny but about 64 degrees which for here is roasty toasty!!!! Enough to get me sunburnt anyway so will need to put plenty of block on. That is after getting both DDs haircut and DD6 to a party. TAXI anyone??????????
Lx
Eventually we got on the flight and DD2 fell asleep straight away before the wheels left the ground. 8 hours passed and we were all still in good humour but desperate to get off the plane. Mum and Dad met us at the airport and we were off!
Sounds like our flight, except ours wasn't near as long!!!
