    Hotel shenanigans

    23. lokakuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    So in my last post I said it would be nice to get to hotel & check in.

    I spoke too bloody soon, got to Sheraton hotel & guess what....no record of our booking. Mel was close to breaking point whilst I was staying fairly calm, we balance each other well like that. One stresses, one holds it together.

    We had all our booking paperwork from Virgin but nope, no booking, no mention of us on their system. Whilst at reception we tried to call the rep, but no answer. So we had to pay a $50 hold on a room for one night to try & get things sorted. Got to room, I video called my sister, then we took to social media, e-mail, FB, twitter, messenger you name it!! Thank god Mel brought her mobile, but not looking forward to the bill!
    Finally got hold of rep, who is now trying to make contact with Sheraton to get things sorted, so fingers crossed whilst we await a phone call.

    I came on holiday to take a break from all the stress, not to bloody add to it!!
    On a plus side the room is very nice, hopefully we get to stay in it!!
    Now, perhaps an alcoholic drink would calm us down...........    Lue lisää

    In the air & arrival into Atlanta

    23. lokakuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

    12.30pm
    In the air! Our flight was delayed by 30 mins, not bad considering this is our first delayed flight.
    Spent my £20 voucher on plenty of drinks & snacks for the flight, so Mel & I won’t starve!
    Have a banging headache so have just had a drink & taken some painkillers, it is probably because i’m overtired, not sure if I will be able to sleep on the plane, so will probably read or watch a film.

    6.10pm (UK time)
    I have actually managed to get some sleep on the plane, which makes a change. Attempted to watch Spiderman: Homecoming but found I couldn’t keep my eyes open, plus I think it is a film you need to see on a bigger screen. So instead I have been watching some stuff I downloaded onto my tablet before leaving.
    Mel is actually having a kip next to me! In what I believe is a first, Mel is actually colder than me & had to get her blanket out! 😮

    I spoke too soon, Mel has just woken up so we have decided it is snack time, cheese sandwiches it is!

    Don’t think we will be doing too much in Atlanta tonight, depends how long it will take to get through customs & get a cab to our hotel. We need to try & watch the new episode of Walking Dead before our tour tomorrow.

    4.30pm (US time)
    In a cab to our hotel! Going through customs was much quicker than expected, we were through in about 5 mins, then just had to wait for our luggage.
    Weird to think it is 9.30pm back at home, been up for around 17hrs. Will be nice to get to hotel & get checked in.    Lue lisää

    Airport Bound

    23. lokakuuta 2017, Englanti ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    6.40am
    Only had about 4 hours sleep last night as the excitement was finally beginning to kick in! Was up at 4am this morning, Mum & Dad got up to see me off. Dad moaned about the weight of my suitcase, but it is only 16kgs, plus both Mel & I have packed our small cases into our large ones so plenty of room for additional items coming home.

    I’m so tired that this is taking ages to write this & I keep making loads of spelling errors, plus I deleted a whole chunk of text! If synchronised yawning was an olympic sport, Mel & I could be on track for the gold medal! We didn’t shut up talking for first 90mins of taxi ride, the driver must be relieved that he now has a bit of peace. I must say that the taxi is very comfortable & spacious though!

    8.50am
    Already checked in & sat in departures! Journey here was much quicker than expected, arrived at airport 7.30am.
    Check in was painless, I made a point of checking that my nut allergy was recorded. As Virgin cannot guarantee nut free food I got a voucher for £20 to buy food in departures. Boarding is from 10am so time to chill & stock up on food. Once again I have been randomly selected at boarding for a special security search, luckily at least I only have a handbag this time. That is the second time since coming to America that I have been selected, how come Mel has got away with it that is what I want to know!    Lue lisää

    Day Before Departure

    22. lokakuuta 2017, Englanti ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    So tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for! Need a holiday so cannot wait. Thought I best test using this app first.
    It is going to be a bit scary as Mel & I do not have a tour guide this time organising us & making sure we are where we are meant to be. But i’m sure we will be fine. We have a good mix of planned tours & plenty of free time to decide what we want to do on the day.
    Things i’m looking forward to:
    Atlanta :
    1. Walking Dead Tour - we have upgraded to the VIP tour, will be great to see the sights of Woodbury & where they film in Senoia.
    2. Walking Dead to Hunger Games Tour - another tour but set primarily around the Atlanta filming locations.
    Nashville :
    1, Grand Ole Opry - VIP tour, we did the back stage tour last time so this time we thought we would book the VIP.
    2. Nashville Tour - will be fab to see the filming locations of Nashville!

    Obviously we have other stuff in the pipeline too, it wouldn’t be right for Mel & I to not have some kind of itinerary to follow!!

    Need to pack this afternoon, that is the worst part as i’m paranoid i’m going to forget something!!    Lue lisää
