Getting ready to leave on our extended holiday

Having spent some time during the week to prepare for our departure with suitcases packed early it was down to the last knockings, as they say.

Due to Noel’s dietary issues Jennifer prepared some food for the flight to Barbados  and so a checked salad plus some ham rolls were prepared and stored away in recently purchased containers. In the afternoon Noel watched the Chelsea-Palemeras game from Abu Dhabi and hoping for a full time result as the taxi was due 7pm , only it was not to be so we had to close down the TV and get ready for the taxi.

The flight tomorrow is scheduled for 10.30 and as we need to check in early for the passenger assistance to work well we had decided that a night at the Sofitel which is connected to the Terminal 5 would make our life a lot easier and so we checked in around 7.45 and spent the rest of the evening watching TV before bedding down for the night.

Earlier in the day we had to use the British Airways Verifly app to upload all our PCR and Vaccine info and then use the Barbados App for the same document’s all over again, when will this ever end.?? Noel then had to do online check in with BA to obtain seats and boarding passes. There is a lot to do these days when you travel.
