Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 
Thank you everyone!

I only had 45 mins between flights so moved quickly from one to the other. Got on the plane for the second leg, we taxied and then..... sat on the runway for an hour because of bad weather along the way. We were re-routed with a flight time of 6-1/2 hours so were still scheduled to arrive on time.

I started to well up as we approached. England (don't you love that word!) has never looked more beautiful. And theeeeen, we circled for 45 mins because there was only one runway open.

Got off the plane, only one other person in front of me at Border Control, my bags came out as I walked up to Baggage Claim, walked out to see my sister and then we hugged and cried.

Got to my mum's, more hugging and crying. My dog seemed a bit dazed and confused - I think she'd written me off as a bad lot for sticking her in a crate! But I took her for a lovely walk and I think she's forgiven me now.

Endless cups of tea, birds singing, green, green, green, sunshine, 68 degrees about. Perfect.

Cardienscarf your post made me smile :D

There's nothing like the sound of the birds singing in the UK. I don't hear too many here, at least not nearly as many as I used to hear in the UK.

I bet the tea tastes a lot different, too! ;)

I'm here, bacon butties and a mug of tea and I'm good.
Awful long boring flight, and a whining arse in front of us who complained my Dd was talking??? Yes she was, in a normal voice at 8pm, and he wanted to sleep, I was about to swear at him when he shut up and sat down. We stopped talking when the lights went out for the "night"
I hope I never have to fly long haul ever again.

Back in Belfast. Freezing cold and pouring rain but great to be here in front of a big log fire. My Fedexed suitcase guaranteed delivery yesterday ($670) did not arrive and even tracking can't help :-(. All my warm sweaters, pj's, wellies and puffer coat. Picking dogs tomorrow.

Hopefully the will get your suitcase to you SOON. And you will be so happy to be reunited with your dogs. You made it and your new adventure begins. I know so many people are praying and rooting for you..
