Together Again

Just a quick post to say that Gesa, Issie and Max arrived, with my Mum, in Antigua. Their flight was 2 hours late, and it was a tired and stressed group that we met at St John's airport, but now everyone is here safe and well and beginning to relax into the Antiguan lifestyle. Rum punches all round.


Good thing they weren't flying out of Antigua though. Their plane, a Virgin Atlantic 747 got ready to go back to Gatwick, loaded up with 450 passengers, taxied along the runway, started to turn round for take off and got it slightly wrong, slipping off the runway and ending up with one set of wheels stuck in the mud. Apparently the airport was closed for hours and all the passengers had to stay another night. Our crew, Ed, was on the BA flight leaving just after, so he must have been pretty badly delayed - hope you got home OK in the end Ed.

Well, time to go back to the beach. Sigh.
