Hey all
As you can tell by the title, I'm not planning to blog everything in one shot!! Partly cos I want to do justice to the holiday properly - and partly cos I've got 10 minutes til church so I know I won't get to the end!
So, how about the journey first?
Well, we were picked up 10:30am by our chauffeur who was very pleasant but proceeded to take a tortuous route from our house to Newcastle airport! The traffic was bad when we got up near Newcastle so a 1hour journey took nearer 1.5 hours - however, when you're flying business class I guess they don't worry so much about check in times cos no-one was bothered! Checked in the luggage (we had 60kg between us allowance and we checked in 58.7kg - good eh?! hehehehehee) no problem and then went to hang out in the business lounge at Newcastle airport. Wow - all that free food and drink and newspapers and comfy chairs - already I was beginning to enjoy the experience ;o) Here we are in the business lounge at Newcastle airport....
Plane was on time so we boarded at 1pm - wish you all could have seen my face as I turned LEFT at the top of the stairs into the business class seats..... WOAH!!!! It was like every other row was removed and the leg room was just, well, even Nick couldn't stretch his legs right out and touch the seat in front! The chairs were incredible too - have you seen Monsters Inc, the "mike's car" short where Sully sits and plays with the chair? Up, down, forward, back, firmer, softer, legs up, head back....... Nick said I was like Sully!! It was TOO cool!
So, we sit down and a lovely Emirates cabin crew later brought champagne - well, what could I say ;o).....
With a fab choice of films, comfy seats, Nick for company and great food, the 7hour flight to Dubai passed beautifully! I'd taken my usual "chill pills" of course but I did pretty good anyway!
We got to Dubai airport midnight Dubai time - so 9pm UK time - it was still 30degrees! Here I am at Dubai airport. That was an amazing place - clean, great shops, very organised!
2am Dubai time we flew off to the Seychelles - here we are in the plane - leg room eh?!?!??!!!!
Finally, at 7am Seychelles time (4am UK time) we landed for our holiday - we hadn't slept but knew we could get some serious chiling on the beach ;o)
Anyay, gotta go and find bibles and sort hair styles for the girls - more later!!
Love to all
Nikki xxxxxxxxx
