It’s been a weekend of travel! Having crossed multiple time zones, it’s hard to remember or work out how long the journey back to The Cottage actually took. I do remember that we said our farewells to Hawaii and the guys at Honolulu Airport on Saturday morning and took off over the surf of Waikiki Beach.
That night, we jumped forward a couple of hours and landed into the bright lights of Los Angeles, California at dusk.
We had just enough time to grab some dinner and make our way over to the right terminal before boarding our next flight. We got a tantalising glimpse of life in first class as we boarded and made our way to the back of the plane!
Initially, we were seated with a large pregnant woman. The kind stewards, went off to find her a seat with more room, which was lovely for her and great for us as we thought we had a row of three seats to ourselves. Until an even bigger replacement passenger was assigned to the spare seat! It was a tight journey back over American and the Atlantic. All ten hours of it! But we did get to witness a fabulous sunrise...
And could see all of Anglesey and Snowdonia as we approached the UK from the north west.
From Llandudno to the Lleyn Peninsular, Wales was laid out like a map, with the Menai Straits easy to spot.
Had a look for Loddington a bit later, but couldn’t quite make it out from our side of the plane!
Then finally, we put down at Heathrow, where the time jumped forward another eight hours to about 15:30 on Sunday afternoon.
The car was waiting for us at the meet and greet car park, so just a five hour drive saw us back at The Cottage and put directly to bed!
What an adventure!
