MSC Splendida look back | 7/1/12 | Travelling to Genoa

Image
The first day was mainly travelling to the airport and then onto the ship. We left at 5am in the morning to make our flight, I decided to wear high heels and had to change the moment I got to Gatwick as my feet were killing me. When we got there we checked in with plenty of time to spare so went to one of the cafes to have some breakfast. I had a sausage sandwich with a flag stuck in the middle and a coffee. We had a bit of a time to wait so just looked around the shops and kept looking out for our gate to be called.  When our plane was finally called we had a long walk to our gate and another wait at the other end.  I had never flown in a big plane before but only in a light aircraft back in 2006, so it had been a long time.  When on the plane I had a bit of a moment when we were taxying away but once on the runway I was fine and couldn't wait ti take off.

What's in Lillys bag | Holiday edition

Image
It's just three weeks till we take our holiday to Devon Cliffs in Exmouth and I thought I would share what I am taking in Lillys backpack for our journey to our park. I will start with the usual things, so nappies/dry like me, wipes, outfits, snacks and drink. This is a must have just to be prepared for any journey out. The extra bits that I am taking are either to keep her amused or for comfort.  I have a small colouring book and two packs of crayons for when we get to camp. She loves colouring and I found this cute book that would fit in her backpack. I then have some small books to fit in there that I know she likes including Elmers parade, The dinosaur that pooped a lot and Rusty's train ride.  I then have my Samsung galaxy tab 2 loaded with apps for her. I also will be adding music for her and downloading some tv programmes from BBC Iplayer. Lastly we have her bunny and sheepy with us which she has in bed with her every single night.  ...
