We had a quick nose around and decided to have a wander before ordering any food. There are so many seating areas including a formal dining area, the bar, a library, a chill out area, a deli bar, games area, huge TV screen and loungers along with a roof top terrace and a Beauty/relaxation area.
We decided to sit in the chill out area and ordered breakfast which was a full English breakfast with tea and an orange juice for Hubbie. Soon after ordering the drinks arrived followed by the brekkie.

Mmmmm it was yummy :[D] After this we took a stroll around the lounge, checking out all the different area and then out onto the roof terrace. And then over to the Beauty/relaxation area which is called the 'Cowshed'. A very pleasant assistant showed us around and we took a look at the Spa.

We then took a brochure away to look at, soon after Hubbie had a 'Floaty Cow' massage booked in for 8.30am and I had the facial 'Fresh as a Daisy' booked in for 9.30am. As we had a few minutes to spare we went to the internet bar and logged on whilst deciding what else to order. Nathan soon disappeared for his massage and returned 15 minutes later looking very relaxed [:D] We then ordered more food a bacon muffin for Hubbie and a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel for myself which I ate after my treatment as it was nearing 9.30am. Mmmmmm what a fab 30 minutes I had prior to the flight very relaxing [:)] After this I ate my bagel and we made our way to the gate as boarding had been called. Upon arriving at gate 19 the queue was rather large but as we had PE tickets we were able to us the Priority queue and we were soon onboard and settling in with champagne for me and orange juice for Hubbie. I must say and Hubbie agrees the Heathrow planes are so much nicer than the Gatwick the seats were more comfortable and the entertainment system was the on demand V-Port system.

Take off was nearly on time at 11.25am. The crew were soon round with the drinks trolley I had vodka and diet tonic and Hubbie stuck with coke. It was then time for the main meal which was a small salad then I had the chicken and pasta with mushroom and broccoli, which was quite tasty and the pudding was a chocolate mousse, very very yummy, all washed down with white wine. Soon after liquers were offered and I had a Baileys. The flight was smooth and the time passed, having the on demand entertainment system helped with loads of movies and games to choose from. Later in the flight we had a doze as the head rests were very supportive. Soon we were nearing the end of our flight and as we came into land we got a great view over SF, as it is usually shrouded in fog and not alot can be seen.

We landed at 1.30pm ontime. Once off the aircraft we headed straight for Immigration which had a huge line [:(] Eventually we were through and the luggage was only just starting to arrive, surprisingly ours all arrived very quickly so we soon scooted off to collect the car via the airport monorail. As we were doing a fair few miles we upgraded to a Jeep Cherokee [:D]
At last we were heading to SF at 2.30pm [:)] Back in our favourite city once again [:D]
