Gatwick Travel Blogs

so today was our first day as IC6 C/Crew with Monarch Airlines. It was so exciting to meet everyone, they all seem to be very friendly. There are 15 people in our group, we just go through lots of security and ID stuff and get a chance to talk to everyone and make new friends! We start properly on …

My last day in London was ... well like all my last days in London...busy till the last minute! I woke up rather early but thanks to the long queue for breakfast, I ended up spending nearly 1 hour just to eat. Grabbed my iPod, got on the Tube to Trafalgar Square. This is one of my favourite spots …

June 24, 2006   10:35am "I am on the Gatwick Express waiting for it to take off to London Victoria Station. I have officially freaked out for the first time. The second I heard my mom's voice, I began to cry. I am sooo scared. I feel like I have no idea where I am going. It is so weird b…

Allie and I hacn't seen each other for years.  Literally, years. I'd been in the US, she'd been busy, etc.  We met at the airport, and started catching up.  Then BA announced a three hour delay.  Normally, that would have sucked.  But today - three extra hours to catch up! …

After one AMAZING week soaking up all that Cuba has to offer, and willing myself to come back as soon as possible, while managing to learn to make the best mojito ever, the trip was over all too soon. We dragged our bags to the lobby 10 times slower than we wheeled them in, and said goodbye to ou…

Just putting it in, as it's not so easy for us to get direct flights to travel about ( and to play about with the wee journey map :-)  ) . Usually like to leave a bit of time in case of delays, but baggage reclaim was a 'mare and we had to transfer from the North Terminal to the South. Barely …

We flew to Gatwick with British Airways - I fell asleep five minutes after take off and didn't wake up until 5 minutes after landing, missing a near runway collision involving our plane and a LoganAir jet in the process which led to our plane having to pull up sharply just before landing and circle…

Quick holiday in the Uk

A week based in Naples on the Gulf of Mexico.

So, we arrive at the terminal stated on the tv, (yes I know we should probably have figured things out before now and not been so disorganised) and realised it had listed the wrong one. Not a problem we thought and got on the train for the short journey to the other terminal. Upon arriving we notic…

Apologies blog fans, internet access in the Mountains of Switzerland is expensive and hard to find. Some of the highlights you should see if you are ever in the Gindelwald/Interlakken area of Switzerland are - The walk from the First Cable car in Grindelwald to Bachalpse - The Jungfraujoch (top …

Well,I thought I'd make a start, and now that I'm sitting here in the departure lounge I'm feeling so much. So many feelings yet I don't think I could describe how I felt if I tried. What I can say is that I'm looking forward, and whilst my mind keeps looking back, to the people I have just left be…
