Yes, its been quite busy, but now the Barbados and Antiqua flights have left its thinned out
Eurohill has just left to go and board VS27

Just had some of the VERY tasty hot chocolate and marshmallows Yum!

Bad news is that the cinema is bust :-(
Such a hard life! :-)

P.S. I took Eurohills picture and they all thought he was a famous celeb ROFLMAO!
The shoeshine guy came up to him and quizzed him who he was! :D:D

What Alan forgot to say is that there was a big sign up in the Clubhouse saying "Welcome to Virgin Nigeria". So does that mean the Clubhouse is now in Nigeria? Now some people could have a long debate about this one! Yes also VBUS was parked outside in the new colours.

And, returning to the original theme, greetings from Gatwick CH again! Bit embarrassing, I grant you, to have been waiting outside the door for the place to open at 0640. Nevertheless, a quick glass of champagne and English breakfast have put that behind me. I'm not convinced by alcohol at this outrageous time of the morning, but following on from past posts, I thought I ought to maintain the tradition. Call me a lightweight, but I'm now on coffee.

Anyway, the VS ANU flight is on time, and I live in hope of beating Adam777 on the BA flight to St Johns, and to get first crack at Immigration there.

Trip Report to follow - my first!

Best wishes

David

Pah - lightweight :D[:o)];)

Alcohol at 0700hrs (or earlier) is perfectly acceptable - mind, I think you'd expect me to say that wouldn't you? :D

Cheers

Well Michael, we haven't met, but your reputation was floating around my mind when I posted that line - sorry! [:w]

Anyway, I'm posting now from Antigua to report a great flight: Opupped (is that a verb? Who cares) 5 minutes before we pushed back, so all the comfort of suite 10K for the trip down here; we did beat Adam77's BA flight; and I was the first into (and out of) a completely clear Immigration at VC Bird Airport. Result! More when I put in a TR on return.

Best wishes

David

Me? Drinking alcohol at 0700hrs? With my reputation? I wouldn't know what you could mean ;)

Wooot - excellent result all round - will look forward to your TR (though less about the coffee :D) [y]

Enjoy the rest of your trip!
