I awoke after a great night out with Bryan and Karlos. I was very grateful for the lift in the Audi to the bus stop to get the Heathrow bus. It was luxury! Wifi,TV screen showing you a map of where we were, interesting info, approx time to arrival etc. there were even plugs to charge devices whilst on the go!It only took about 30mins from Reading to Heathrow. It all went super smooth until I got to security screening, where the screen operator gave a foul look and set the beeper/red light off while my bag was in there. My worst nightmare! Thank God the guy delivering items after screening was friendly. He took me to the side and asked me to open the bag and take out the iPad and camera etc. which meant they could be scanned properly. All good after that - mental note to take out the laptop. As well as not pack 8.2kg in your hand luggage! I got the scales out at Bryan's place to get it under the20kg limit. Thankfully it got there!
I'm now waiting for my flight to Cork. The gate is somewhere between 77-84, which is kind of in the same area which is lucky, but still not helping my nerves. It's only an our and a half flight, so I should be right. The BLT and Leffe has helped.
...and touchdown. The flight was delayed, yet short, and non-memorable. I grabbed my baggage and headed out to, hopefully, not appear on the Irish version of Border Control or Nothing To Declare or Passport or an equivalent! There were three aisles that all went the same way - not sure about that, but I headed through nervously... And arrived to see two iPad-holding people with signs for the ADE conference. Very Apple. I signed in and was directed to the coach... The holiday is now on hold - work has started!
