the Journey begins .................

Well we set off to Heathrow Tuesday morning, I ordered a Passat, but we got a Vauxhall Zafira - ok but rob said it had no power, and we Just fitted all the luggage in the boot!

The Journey down to London was pretty easy, after discussing it with my dad we went the A1 route as the motorways were fairly chocker.











this is a pic taken 50 miles from London...


The Hotel we stayed in was the Holiday Inn on Junction 4 and the carpark consisted of ANY space available...grass verges you name it, so we just dropped of the bags and then we took the car back to the depot, the girl at Humberside said follow the signs for Terminal 4 and Cargo, we did then we saw the signs for the car hire and dropped it off, they had a courtesy bus that took us to the shuttle buses and then we caught the H1 shuttle to the hotel.

We ordered Room service and chilled (talked to the kids on Skype) we had the room till we needed to go to the airport....

The airport was all hustle and bustle, we had a snack....£16 for 2 sarnies 2 small salad bowls and 2 coffees...oh well we expected the horrendous prices!
