So I’m off to Spain for the week with the ladies. Stupidly early start for me. Left the house at 5.30am to get to Gatwick. Jesus I hate these outer rim budget airline centres. They are just filled to the rafters with cheapos. Yes I’m a travel snob. If it’s not BA and I don’t have the option of escaping the great unwashed by dodging into the lounge I’m not going to be happy. To top it all I am here stupidly early. Had the obligatory bag security check. Apparently having a tub of powder in your luggage triggers the security team. Luckily they didn’t do a full unpack as that would have taken a few hours to redo. So anyway here I sit contemplating a trip to WHSmith to get a sandwich and some water for the flight but I know if I peak too soon on that I’ll have it eaten before I board. Soon I’ll be in sunny Barcelona waiting for the next flight. Connecting travel is so much fun don’t you think?
