Heathrow Airport

Early morning start for our adventure to the other side of the world. Started well, woke up to a thunderstorm and plenty of lightning, just what you want for flying! Not to mention the downpour at Heathrow that left us pretty soaked after a run from the car. A five-inch deep pond in front of the entrance left everybody's feet nice and wet for the flight ahead.

An emotional goodbye to the parents, both at the hotel and the airport, left us feeling a little sad as well as sleepy after crossing through security, but the focus now is on what's ahead of us, a fantastic adventure hopefully filled with amazing experiences!

Thank you to all who have helped make this happen with encouragement, support and advice. Going to miss you all loads!

Now for the flight! Goodbye rain, hello sunshine....it's always there above the clouds!Read more
