04:00 Jayne's up before the birds 🐦 and in the shower.
04:20 Phone call from Florida wishing us a safe and to say they were just going to bed 🛌.
05:15 Suitcases are closed, locked and by the door 🚪
05:30 Taxi arrives to take us to Poulton Train Station for the 06:02 train to Manchester Airport.
07:30 Arrive Manchester Airport and take the long walk to Terminal 2 Departures and join the queue to check-in at the Virgin Atlantic Desk, before taking the slow fast track way through Security and having both our bags pulled for additional scrutiny.
09:15 Finally get to the Escape Lounge, only to be told we are too early to check-in as our reservation only starts at 12:00 the time we are probably due to board our flight - thanks Holiday Extras. Anyway the receptionist took pity on us and said come back in 1/2 hour and we can sit on high bar stools as all the tables are pre-booked.
11:40 Hurray the Departure Board tells us to go to Gate A12 and be ready for boarding.
We're off 😁🥳🥳Leer más
