We made it to London

Using the wonders of modern technology I have managed to avoid paying airport WiFi charges by connecting my mobile phone to my laptop...

Well after all of the packing and saying goodbye, we are on our way successfully bagging our first flight. We are now in one of the bars (surprise surprise) in Heathrow’s T3 and Aaron is away looking for an outside bit to have a sneaky wee fag before the 12 hour flight to Hong Kong at 6pm this evening. The flight should be interesting as Aaron has invested in a Niccorette ‘Inhalator’ – a small plastic device which give the users a small dose of nicotine on inhalation. It will be interesting to see how well this works and how angst Aaron will be when he gets off the plane at the other end!!

On changing from T5 where we land to T3 where our next flight takes off, we had to clear security again. Me and Aaron made it through with no issues but Hayley set the metal detector off and the lady who searched her had a right old rake around in her over shoulder boulder holder, looking for hidden contraband – luckily for Hayley none was found.

Aaron has also brought his ‘Fanimal’ – those of you old enough will remember these creatures from the Peparami adverts of days gone by. Here’s a photo of Fanimal at Newcastle airport.
