FL19 - Eventually

Eventually.

The weather forecast was for heavy rain and then thunder and lightning.

As boarding time approached we didn't get to move very far. The plane was here and so were the crew and passengers. 

Once on the plane we were told that due to the weather the area was shutdown for refuelling and flight. It was just about midnight when we eventually took off.

Estimated flight time 7h 40m. It would mean cutting it fine for the transfer in Dublin to the London flight 

We landed with about 35 minutes in hand but sat in the taxi way before getting a gate until 1345.

And our 1340 connection had left.

Stranding over a hundred passengers in Dublin. We were lucky to get a new flight at 1430. We saw quite a few others from the MIA flight. 

It took off 20 minutes late and we touched down just before 1600 at Heathrow. Our bags managed to come with us though and that might be a miracle.

DriveFly were really good and the car was there 

We were back in Hythe around 1800. A stop in Sainsbury's and home to Reggie.

After 33 hours awake finally bedtime.

Holiday over.
