Epic Journey Commences

Got the standby flight so heading to Heathrow in a few minutes. I'll try and keep this updated as I progress.

Edit: Landed safely in Heathrow, to find flights to Dublin cancelled. Happily now on board a Virgin train to Bangor, North Wales, presuming that I'll be able to make it to Holyhead from there, to a prebooked Ferry at 2:40 am.... Total costs

Without sms ability, this is the best medium for communications!

I don't know why but I am incredibly envious of you right now. I think it's an awesome adventure you're on, think of the memories you'll have! "Ah yes remember the time it took me 15 days to get home...."

By the way, flights into Dublin are being diverted to ..... Manchester right now!

lol - 15 days

Things like this always make for good stories in the pub over a pint and a hugely overpriced tiny tin of Pringles. At the time though, it's a nightmare!

Actually Gav - didn't this happen to you before? On the way over to Canada? You're amassing quite a few travel tales.

How do you know you're not her sidekick?
