FL15 - Day 16 - The Last Day Part 2

The end of another holiday in the US.

In the end the flight was only about 15 minutes late leaving Tampa and we made the usual headway over the Atlantic with strong tail winds and the estimated arrival time was about thirty minutes early and then before we got off the south of Ireland the turbulence increased and the plane bucked about quite a bit. For about two hours we had to sit through it and then we were ready to land.

Unfortunately, a heavy storm had preceded us and when we landed we had nowhere to dock, and so we spent the best part of 45 minutes on the ground, waiting and crawling along.

The tolerance for us was that the parking finished at 0916 and we'd have to pay another day.  By the time we got through passports, even with our chipped passports, time looked to be running out. We collected our bags and made it to the bus stop for the shuttle to the parking just about 0855.  The bus arrived a few minutes later and we made it in time not to get charged!

The drive home was uneventful.  A stop for a widdle at Clacket Lane where we had a coffee and then home just before 11am.  

The house in disarray as the bathroom fitters were still working and they eventually installed a loo and washbasin for us to use over the weekend.

We went and got Reggie from the kennels and that was it, 

Holiday over 2015.

Yes. He went mental. The kennel man said he was a "character"... Whatever that meant!!
