Well this is my first report so please be patient.
Trip included
Myself Ginette
DH Paul
DD Chloe
Our trip started with a drive to Manchester and stay over.
Woke up normal school day time, Chloe is very excited as her daddy is taking her to school. She also taking cake in for her friends to eat.
It is raining and as usually the school makes the nursery kids stand out whilst the bigger kids can go in the school to keep dry. Very annoying.
So chloe out of the way for 2 1/2 hours, we go to woolworths for a birthday badge and snacks for our trip. We then returned home to sort the cases out.
Once loaded into the car we went to collect Chloe, yet smiling from ear to ear as daddy was there. 1/2 mile into the trip it started "WHERE WE GOING" "ARE WE THERE YET".
This went on for a little while, so DVD went on.
Ariived at our hotel Travelodge just opened, so free parking for the first night, once checked in we headed straight to the airport to check our luggage in, the staff were very rude. Discussing who was going to go up stairs and collect the pre departure letter as the master copy had been used, we then got sent to another desk to hand over our luggage then returned to our original desk, AND yes still arguing over the letter, and guess what we NEVER GOT IT!!!!!!
We left them to it, and drove back to the hotel, and we had to change rooms as the TV was not working.
Meal time was expensive £18 for a kids meal, cheeseburger and curry no drinks in the price.
Chloe wanted us to return to our room, she wanted to go to bed BUT it was only 6pm.
We sat and watched tv, then it dawned on us, there was no alarm clock, or telephone so we could not have a wake up call. So out came the mobile, and i had never used the alarm cloock function hmmm.
Luckily it worked
The real day one to follow
