UK Diary: Day 1 July 24, 2006
Posted by Martin in : Overseas Travel , trackbackOur United Emirates flight was as comfortable as our Singapore Airlines flight last year. We’d arrived three hours early at the airport and were offered the chance to take a flight earlier by one hour. Logistically it gave us 1 hour less to wait in Bangkok and 1 hour more waiting in Dubai for our connecting flight.
Tik an I mainly slept, I watched the occasional episode of Friends, The Office and some reasonable documentaries.
In Dubai we experienced perhaps the most expensive coffees ever as we waited for our connection. We had twenty minutes to vent our frustration at how crappy the duty free offerings were and left for Manchester on time.
We arrived around three pm Dad was there to meet us and to take us both back to Southport – our home for three weeks.
The dogs and mum were still home and Lisa worked until the following day. The UK was experiencing a heatwave so for our first evening on UK soil we had salad and a much-missed BBQ dinner.
