We were up and dressed in good time this morning, and enjoyed some coffee and a breakfast bar in our room. Then, at 7.45am, we hefted our rucksacks and cases (yes! our cases!) down in the lift to the hotel foyer, and waited for a few minutes while Frank brought the coach round to the…

It was around 8.00am when we got up this morning feeling quite optimistic.

Day 4 – No luggage!! Got up at 7.15am and set the coffee pot away while I went in to shower. At least the hotel had provided shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. I couldn’t blow-dry my hair because I didn’t have my hot brush or straighteners with me, so once the air-con had dried it…
Day 3 – No luggage !! We slept a little better last night than we had the first night, but we were still awake long before the alarm. Once again, I donned my Target jeans as well as my Target t-shirt, and put on my Target flip-flops. Then I went into the bathroom and washed…
Day 2 – No luggage!! As we expected, we were wide awake very early, ready to get up and wondering why it was still dark outside. The glowing numbers on the bedside clock told us it was only 3.00am!! After dozing off to sleep again, we were once again awake, this time at 4.30am. I…
It hardly seemed any time at all since we were last heading for an airport and far away, sunnier climes, so it was with a huge sense of déjà vu that we found ourselves, once again, on the road to Newcastle Airport. But before we had even left home, the trouble started. At approximately 9.00pm…
