arriving at my father's

we finally arrived at my father's at 1am. i was exhausted.

my sister had actually landed and was waiting for me at the airport when i arrived. we checked in fine and had a bit of food while waiting for the girls. their check-in was a bit more complicated, as ebookers had made yet another mistake. apparently, they'd been rebooked on a flight the following day, except there was no flight on the following day, so that took another half hour to sort out.

we eventually made it onto the plane - the flight was delayed - and we were very pleasantly surprised by the service we got. there seemed to be more legroom and the staff was very nice. we were also served food, for free! a rarity these days, if you're not on a long-haul flight. it wasn't very much but it was enough, served in small portions. we even got seconds cos the girls asked for some more...

once we'd landed, we picked up the rental car and drove off. we made it home in 1h40. 1am and dad was still up, waiting for us. nice.
