Today we set off (or rather tomorrow at 10 past midnight) on our way to the UK to see our daughters and meet our prospective son-in-law and also his parents. Our tickets were booked with Emirates back in 2020 and we elected to keep them instead of getting a refund. As it has turned out this was definitely a good idea as equivalent tickets are now 50% more expensive! We are lucky to be travelling Business Class, first on a Boeing 777 and then on an Airbus 380. It is our intention to take full advantage of the delights on offer. We will arrive at 12:30 pm and be taken to Katie's apartment in High Wycombe by the chauffeur service of Emirates to be met by Katie's newly acquired cat Luna!
Of course, we are looking forward to seeing Katie and later in the week Natalie who is arriving for the weekend from Amsterdam. A couple of weeks later, Natalie will return with Tim her fiance, who we will meet in person for the first time. We have spoken on Facetime and we are very much looking forward to seeing him in the flesh. We are also looking forward to a BBQ at Tim's parent's house in Princes Risborough. Currently, Natalie and Tim are in Italy looking at potential wedding venues for next year and we are keeping our fingers crossed that they find something suitable.
We will be going to Amsterdam for a week or so to see Natalie and Tim and they're newly acquired dog Pretzel! Animals seem to be in vogue although I think Ann and I may have enough with each other. We will meet up with them again in Portugal in September before returning back to Phuket in October.
