In Aug 2006 we explored the west coast of the US, starting in Vancouver, down over the border to Seattle, down the Pacific Coast Highway, to Los Angeles, over to the Grand Canyon and finished off at Las Vegas.

Story: Tier Point Run to Grand Cayman in Dec 2013

Well having left about 10 mins late from Manchester, and arriving 10 mins early at Heathrow it was disappointing to have to sit on the apron for 15 mins whilst an aircraft got ready to leave the gate we were arriving at. Never mind.

The day has arrived - I’ve finished off my last bits of work before the weekend including attendance at the Service Review session this morning where one of my changes had caused a serious delay to financial reporting processing at a leading bank (I’m not proud of this by the way).

Time to chill and earn some serious miles with BA and AA. This trip will take me from Manchester to Heathrow, over to Dublin where I stay at the airport Hilton, then it’s on to JFK in the morning where I have my interview to complete my Global Entry application.

Bit scary this - my first overseas trip by air on my own! At 47! I’ve always had someone in tow to rely on for finding my way around, or picking up things from hotel rooms when I have left them, and there’s no one but myself to rely on.

Arrived back at Heathrow earlier than scheduled at 6:15am. We were first off upper deck due to being in row 64 - definitely my favourite row!

Didn’t sleep especially well last night. We were up when the alarm went off at 6:30am. Busy day today - careful plan to get us up, into breakfast, onto the shuttle back to the airport.

We agreed to get up at 7am to help move our bodies with the moving time zone - I’ve just got up at 6:30am so I will see what sort of response I get from Vick in 30 mins!
