Flights from Southend

Jan wrote:I can't remember arranging anything at mine but it's a shame you can't be there Glyn. Anyway, it wouldn't be the same without you, so we will put it on hold until next time we are all there at the same time.

It will be better to hold it at yours though, your garden is much bigger than ours and living in a small select community, you don't have as many neighbours to annoy as us!

============================================================================
Not sure if it is what Glyn is referring to - but in one of my ancient, cheeky (what me??) posts I did suggest a reunion at yours. Jan!!
Will have to celebrate a belated 1st birthday party for TalkQuesada at Glyn's then? I'd better get the Diet Coke chilled now!!

You really have to weigh up all the pros and cons now on these flights, don't you! Considering that I don't let out the house any more - haven't for some years now - I can't understand why, as my wardrobe is groaning here, I don't take more stuff over and leave it there!! Maybe one day!!

Who would ever have thought back in the days of Richard and the Yahoo forum that we would be soon be celebrating our first anniversay on such a wonderful site as this.

Thank you for the kind complement Glyn. The site seems to be going well and let's hope it goes from strength to strength. As always, any ideas and suggestions from everyone are always welcome!

==================================================

I find it difficult to get my head around this time!! Normally I get up at 6am (but this way I have to be up by about 1.30am - although the case etc is always packed and everything ready to go). I have tried sitting up all night - only to feel rotten the next day. The last time I, very unsocially, went to bed on the afternoon before!! At my tender age I can't survive on a quick nap on the day of arrival!! Goodness knows what I will be like when I get to your age, Glyn!!!;)

I would find such an early flight very difficult too Sandra. I even find a 9am flight too early for me. We often have to choose 9am and that means leaving home at 6.30am, which would be fine if we weren't going to the airport. Being an anxious person, I worry all night that the alarm won't go off and wake up constantly throughout the night and arrive in Spain totally exhausted!

All tips on feeling fit after a 3am start are welcome!!:D
