Flights & ER (hopefully not together)


Trying to book our flights asap as they are increasing the whole time. XL is now not our cheapest option unless we fly on the 15th July - this give us no time in the UK to say goodbye to everyone and panic buy Mint Crisp. So we are back to Virgin Atlantic at a cost of GBP2,700 for us all and flying on 25th July. Booking return tickets is cheaper than singles, however, surely everyone who wants a one way ticket just books a return and doesn't use it. Or do Virgin have a magical way of finding you and zapping you back. I digress as usual. This VS flight is good as it connects directly onto a Carib Aviation flight at 2.40pm which in turn flies directly into Canefield which is very close to our house. The cost of this part is US410. It is an, how shall I say, interesting experience landing/departing at Canefield or as my sister-in-law hysterically said on board last year 'I earn enough not take this plane'. She does. Anyway, at some stage we will try the high speed ferry option. Hopefully their doors close properly.....

In the meantime, Ollie is at home today after going into Casualty last night or as some call it the ER (hope Dr Kovac stays) which sounds more trendy. This is Ollie's 6th ER visit. What can I say, at least we will be living near the Princess Margaret hospital in Dominica. As for hospital teddies ......our collection is as large as his file....
