Thursday 14 Feb 2013 We're off!!!

Well the last 2 weeks have flown by. It is now 11:30am and today we leave Bingley at 2:15pm to head to Manchester Airport from where we fly at 8:00pm. Whilst we all did our Valentine's duty only John sported a "Perfect Valentine" badge.

Most of us had reasonable sized cases at 15/18kg but Mike managed a massive 29kg. Mike realised Dot had packed some liquids and went to buy a plastic bag so he could include it with his hand luggage, only to find he was delayed at the baggage check as his hand luggage was rejected twice before security found that Dot had packed yet another bottle of liquid hand gel which needed another plastic bag before he could continue. David had similar issues and needed to be "frisked".

Unfortunately we have a 7 hour layover in Abu Dhabi where the weather is 23 degrees and sunny. After yesterday's snow I think we will all be happy with a bit of sunshine. We arrive in Kathmandu at 8pm on Friday night, probably just in time to go to bed.
