Went off this morning in Dublin for breakfast at Flanagans then off to get the boots Kim saw in the window last night. Having bought them, she then couldn't fit them in her suitcases (which were already packed) so into the handluggage they went.
Booked an airport to Times Square shuttle on the net, hen off to the airport. Checked in, waiting for flight. Told flight would be delayed, then embarked 15 mins later. Sat on tarmac for half an hour. Eventually left, an hour late. Missed connection to New York by 7 minutes!
Stood in queue to rebook for 2 hours - no joking here - and it was no joke. Then told that because Aer Lingus brought us to Heathrow, we would have to go to Terminal 1 (we were in Terminal 5) and get them to find us a hotel.
Eventually got there - 2nd in queue, an hour later - all hotels in area booked out (BA were having trouble too so wasn't just the irish!) because so many connections had been missed because of the pea-soup weather in London! 11.15pm - we had arrived at 7pm - and we finally get a taxi chit to go to my friends house 30 min away from Heathrow - she was in nearly in bed when we phoned.
Get to Sally's house at 15mins past midnight. What a fiasco! we are now back in the airport for a 10am flight to JFK. Lets hope we do go this time. had to phone the hotel in NY to say we were still coming, but a day late, as well as the shuttle who probably never got my 2 messages and charged us for a no-show.
What a day!
