Another new one for me: a TP run to San Antonio in Texas. It was great to see somewhere new.

We negotiated over the timing of the shuttle bus back to the terminal. I obviously wanted to catch the first bus at 4:30am and the Vickster wanted to catch the 7am.

We were first off, and we headed to the first flight connections, almost opposite Gate 414. There was no sign to say it was closed, but it became evident that the door wasn't opening!

The Hoppa shuttle bus dropped us at bus stop 17/18 on the arrivals level. We had already thought through the potential return trip when we got back from Dublin.

Another chilled out morning for two retired folk in our cafe. That's us by the way, if it wasn't that obvious. Chutney was all over Vick as normal. Mango has been a little less interested in a warm lap, but she was happy to sit on the arm of my chair.

The Vickster is looking forward to this one. Her first time visiting Indian Wells for the ATP/WTA Masters 1000 tournament. She has already completed her grand slam of the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.

This holiday is all about the tennis at Indian Wells: well two evening sessions of tennis anyway! The back story to us booking this one is the focus of some heated discussion!

From most gates at T3, it's a bit of a trek to Passport Control. Gate 32 is no different.

Whilst we were waiting to reboard, I was asked by the despatcher what the weather was like at Heathrow. A bit breezy, I said, which I guess was a bit of an understatement.
