I finished work at 17:00 & was collected straight away to head up to the airport. Newcastle security was quiet & we zipped straight through to the British Airways lounge.
Having arrived in plenty of time we were able to enjoy sandwiches, crisps and biscuits as snacks.
The key part of all lounges of course was the help your self bar. Making full use of this was a great way to start the holiday off.
In row two of the plane we had plenty of space, & enjoyed a lovely meal. Barely felt that we were flying.
In Heathrow we were met at departures & transferred over to the Hilton at Gatwick. I tactically had grabbed a beer from the lounge to help pass the time.
Following a nightcap in the one of the hotel bars & very enjoyable nights sleep was had.
I fitted in more bars tonight than my usual Friday Club activities. Only by counting the plane as a bar of course. I wonder what was going on down the bullman tonight?
