And what a journey it was. Started off well taxi turned up on time, no traffic jams on route to the airport and check in went smoothly and then the trouble started. After loading us on to the plane on time the pilot came on the announce that due to weather conditions at Heathrow our flight would be delayed by 1.45 mins. This meant that by the time we arrived at Heathrow we literally had 25 minutes to RUN the length of terminal 5 and get the monorail to 5B to catch our flight to Las Vegas. After half killing ourselves doing this we actually caught the flight with minutes to spare. Problem solved……………well no. The pilot of the new plane announced that there was a small technical hitch and we would probably be delayed by 10 minutes while they sorted it out.
5 hours later and a switch of aircraft having spent 3.5 of them sitting on the plane we finally got under way. Long story short we arrived in Vegas at 2am local time instead of 7.30pm. Good old British Airways.
The last 2 days have been a bit odd, trying to catnap and stay wake enough to see the sights. Even though we have only been away a little over 2 days it seems like about 5 having been to bed and slept 4 times. As I write this we are on the plane to Seattle now at 7.35 in the morning. Will post more details of Vegas soon.
