Echo carolines point there, we said goodbye to everyone a couple of hours before we got the taxi to the airport, then sobbed, but was composed and excited at the airport.

We did the final goodbyes the day before, everyone assumed we were flying that day, stayed in a Heathrow hotel overnight and just disappeared. No way were we going to have anyone at the airport.

Yes I have already banned anyone from coming to the airport. Feeling strong and positive and ready for everything today...funny how your emotions go up and down hey....
