8.30pm and we're in bed. Have had a busy day and now I'm knackered. We got packed and was downstairs waiting for mum and dad ahead of schedule. Thats NEVER happened! Took the cats to Leslie last night so that made it a bit easier. The less said about that the better.
Got all the stuff loaded into the wagon, including me, with a face like thunder, and we're off. Time for a quick pit stop at Cobham services (Starbucks) and we're back on the road. Booked a table for dinner at 5pm. Arried at the hotel just in the nick of time. Unloaded al the stuff and headed for check in. Only to find we were at the wrong hotel! The one we needed was 10 minutes further up the road. Despite giving clear address details to the navigators (Dad and Nick) it was clearly all my fault. Out we all traipsed, in varying degress of frustration to load tons of luggage back into the car. 10 mins down the road and we thankfully arrive at the right hotel. Not quite as posh as the first one but it is at least ours. Had dinner with mum and dad and had the crispiest steak and kidney pudding ever! Not entirely sure that the hell they did with it. The Chef came over to ask what we thought. Big mistake! I gave him an ear full and he just nodded,said thanks very much and walked away. Dad said he was probably going to hang himself cos I'd picked his cooking skills to bits. Sat outside in the courtyard and had a coffee after. I had the right hump. Still do. Even the coffee didn't lighten my mood. I must be the most ungrateful traveller ever. Saw mum and dad back to the car and they set off for home. Without me. For the 2nd time in as many days I've had a real struggle not to cry. It was all s***s and giggles planning 3 weeks in American and watching 1001 Youtube videos but now its here I'm far from laughing. Back in our room to admire the view. We over look the terminal, runway and airplane park. For someone who hates flying, planes, airports and holidays, I couldnt have a worse room. Its all going my way so far. Got lost, crap dinner and a poxy view. This trip needs to pick up and fast! haha.
