As usual .... with any of their trips ... the day started early .... at 3.00 am to be precise! Wolf Girl had a minor issue when she thought she'd mislaid her camera ... having just moments before replaced the memory card. This was nothing however, compared to the rather more major issue Sparkling Alice had when both the back doors on the car were frozen solid ... & she was forced to undertake a move more reminiscent of a scene from the Dukes of Hazzard ... climbing in over the front seats! Unfortunately, & rather thankfully, Wolf Girl's camera was not handy at the time!
However, we arrived at Birmingham by 6.oo am & cleared check-in swiftly ... heading straight for the nearest Weatherspoons for a delicious breakfast sandwich!
Our Continental flight departed on time & we were pleasantly surprised that the 7 hour flight seemed to pass very rapidly ... possibly mostly due to the fact that each seat had its own entertainment system in the headrest ... which included numerous movies, including Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince, as well as a number of rather addictive games .... so much so that Alice could barely drag herself away from Bejewelled for long enough to eat her in-flight meal ... see below ...!
Dedicated as ever ... we're currently sitting blogging at the gate in Newark Airport, waiting for the internal flight to Seattle ... fingers crossed that we'll have the same entertainment options to help this flight go as quickly...! ;o)
More to follow ................
