Home Again

Childer Thornton, England, United Kingdom
We had a nice last few days, very hot of course. We took advantage of a 2 for 1 special offer for the spa, we had a 45 minute oil and salt rub followed by an hours Thai massage, very relaxing. We had a late check-out yesterday of 18.00 so we had a full day of doing nothing on the beach. We were on the 19.00 shuttle boat to the harbour, this took about 15 minutes and our taxi was there to meet us, it was a good 2.5 hour drive then to Phuket airport. I had already checked in on-line and loaded our i-Phone wallets with the boarding cards, unfortunately there were no upgrades available. Having already checked in we were able to by-pass the fairly long queue and simply drop our bags off, then it was passport check and security scan. Phuket airport has free wifi but not a lot else really unless you want to do some last minute duty free shopping. It was a 6.5 hour flight to Dubai, we did have exit seats which I had pre-booked so we did have some extra leg room. At Dubai we had to be bussed on landing to the arrival gate and then had to go through security again, we had over 2 hours spare so we got some coffee at Costa and then luckily 2 full length reclining seats became free so we could stretch out before boarding was called. Again I had pre- booked exit seats with extra leg room, it was 8.5 hours to Manchester and we landed on time, we had got through passport control, collected our bags and collected the car from Meet and Greet within an hour.
So that's that for this holiday!
