So we got here in one piece...just about. 11 and a half hours is not a civilised time to spend on a plane, but Virgin Atlantic rock. They feed you constantly and the entertainment system thing they have is wicked. We ended up having to run so that we didn't miss the flight even though we'd been at Heathrow for 3 hours and so it wasn't a leisurely departure! We realised that although we were going to be arriving at 2am UK time we were never going to see night-time...
