Travelling these days is not for the elderly, infirm or faint hearted - the hassle staring at M/c airport where there appeared to be extra security presumably related to Sochi.
Fortunately I had paid for the car park next to check in as luggage so heavy - it was loaded by Rob at home into the Suzuki.
We created a security alert on boarding London shuttle - red light bleeped when I stood on painted feet on floor and looked into the camera - the face that came up was mine superimposed with your mothers! on entry photo I had given her my boarding card by mistake - didn't appreciate they now check individuals onto flight by photo.
The security chap must have seen before as we had to change cards.
The Miami flight was delayed by 4 hours due to weather in US arriving back late - made massive difference as we should have arrived at 11pm UK time instead of 3am. People are ridiculous stingy as I was the only one to use porter and worth 10$ to take us to hotel shuttle as Miami airport is huge. Surprise as immigration chap was humorous - well sort of
The Sheraton transfer was fantastic at looking after luggage . At 5am I had first drink after 20 hour day - Sam Adams at 10$ with extras ,
we were in BA Traveller plus and seats were better than business class for upright reading and every seat taken. we thought of Mairead when Kerrygold butter was served!
We stayed an extra day on Saturday to get adjusted and appeared as Neanderthals sitting around pool as everyone had either iPod or tablet - these were caricatures of' spitting image' as all going on cruises and they are mobile in 90's in this climate - obviously no insurance problem's here - however conversation is now finished as they all fiddled with gadgets like teenagers . Wait till your Ma opens her Kindle!
We ate in hotel restaurant - brek usual with sous chef but evening meal was unbelievably bad at £80 without wine etc . It was cold and dreadful - a disgrace.
Weather sunny - good news Gaints beat Wigan - picked up nice dodge car and onwards to Daytona
