so today is the day the trip finally begins!! the alarm was set for 6.30 to do a last bit of packing and of course a full english breakfast courtesy of dad before heading off to the airport!
once finally arriving at heathrow we cheked in (with a little help from the people at virgin) and after a few security checks we were in the departure lounge eating a boots meal deal being harassed by a small child who's mother was obviously getting rather irrate - fabulous!! our flight was called and there was only one more final security check (shoes off and cameras on) before getting on the 11.5 hour flight to LA.
with a large range of films (i watched juno, heartbreak kid and bit of alvin and the chipmunks) and continual food and drink supplies the journey wasn't too bad, however the lack of sleep definately showed by the time we arrived in LA.
one flight down, one to go!! the next challenge was making our way to our next flight to MEXICO CITY.
After eventually making it through customs, even with the tins of baked beans,mini eggs, creme eggs and salad cream sally has stashed, plus the remaining few traffic light biscuits, our next task was to find the correct terminal! one bus ride and a few arguments later (with the dumb asses at aeromexico) we were ready for our american sized mcdonalds and a quick nap!! i never managed a nap but definately made up for it on the plane, as all 3 of us were fast asleep before the plane had even taken off - pretty good going of you ask me (but at this point we had been awake for 24 hours!) the inflight entertainment was non-existant for this flight but as we only woke for the food and drinks (which were nasty) it wasnt too bad.
And finally we had reached our destination - MEXICO CITY where we were greeted by rich and sophie to begin our travels.
