Looks fantastic, our PE flights to MIA in two weeks have a lot to live upto! Have a wonderful time.

We didn't leave Dublin until 14:00. ETA is 18:10 local time

Aer Lingus Biz class. The plane is Airbus A330-300. Entertainment is excellent, but I have mainly watched downloaded programmes on my iPad.

Must say.......very impressed with the immigration control at Dublin.
I was expecting to have to carry my luggage thro to the desk, but was surprised to see photographs of each piece that we had checked in, appeared once our passports were scanned. Much more relaxed and also a lot faster than MCO.

No, its all very easy, just look at a screen and confirm they are your cases.
Only downside was extra security checks. Once at Manchester then twice going thru Dublin, still easier than doing immigration at MCO.

Lucy & Paul have checked into hotel, should now be at Walmart if they can find it without us

Hope you have got someone to water your allotment while you are off.

Afternoon tea has just arrived........

 

[scoobydooby]

Is that a slab of beef? Again?!!!

You didn't let them borrow your sat Nav?

Have set up a drip feed to greenhouse on allotment. The 80 litre tank lasts for 3 days. I've set up a rota to keep it topped up!

Captain has just made an announcement that due to a heavy storm around Jacksonville, all inbound flights to MCO have been held back until further notice. Looks like we are going for a few circuits of Florida!
