My taxi arrived on time, it took about an hour to get to the airport at Manchester. when we arrived no one knew where to go it was very confusing. I and the others on the pickup eventually found terminal 2, then i made my way to departures, we were like cattle being herded. It was so busy the ques were so long but i eventually made it through security, it is very tight now and i think even more so after the recent terrorist attacks. I did some shopping at the duty free shop, i waited until then to get my sun lotions and some perfume. Then i made my way to the departure gate, everything was running on time. We boarded on time and everything was going smoothly but unfortunately we had an hour delay. It seems someone had set the fire alarms off and some of the passengers had got lost in the confusion. Eventually everything was ok and the missing passengers were located, boarded and we were able to take off.

I was sat with a nice Scottish couple, i was next to the exit, not a good place to be i found out. The air conditioning dripped on take off and landing and i was unable to sit straight or stretch my legs out in front because of a box at the side of me. We had a lunch of chicken in tomato and pepper with potatoes and a snack of cheese and tomato calzone and a scone with jam and cream. The flight took about 10 hours, i was so tired i slept most of the time.
