Left on time last night after a lovely send off from our families. Good seats, quite a bit of sleep. Relatively painless considering it takes best part of 14 hours. Now arrived at our BA base for 6Baca lagi

Tim Stevenson Meep! Sympathy - not what you need at all. Such a releif that you both have (in Clare's case a little of) the lingo. I do hope the trouble quietens down and does not impinge on the trip any more.
