After an extremely stressful few days we're at last on our way.
Having missed a ferry to Brittany because of M25 accident closure earlier in the year, we decided to overnight near Gatwick and avoid the stress of morning rush hour. As Ian had choir practice last night we didn't get to the hotel until about 2300 but had a reasonable sleep until 0530.
Now we're sitting in No.1 Lounge with a great view of the runway and a glass of Prosecco in hand.
The runway looks to be totally invaded by Easy Jet. We're flying with BA to Trinidad with a flight time of 11 hours (including stop off in St Lucia) and a 4 hour time difference, so we'll arrive about 5pm. The Asa Wright Centre is only atbout 30kms from the airport but an hour drive (challenging roads me thinks!)
