We need some sunshine, time for a week away! Time to go home :(

Sun 17th Feb into 18th 

Time to go home 

We set an alarm this morning for 9 and started some washing while we got up and ready. Breakfast of muffins, sunny D and coffee by the pool 





We had booked the villa until the next day as we weren’t sure when we would fly back so we decided to have a last morning in the pool until 12 before showering and doing the last load of laundry.

Our final lunch was cake and ice cream before packing our bags and doing some cleaning. 



We had a last HGTV fix before leaving 

We departed the villa at 1515 and arrived at Tampa airport at 1630. The car was returned and bags dropped and we were seated in Hard Rock Cafe by 1710.





After our meal we headed through security which was much less stressful than at Orlando. 

We sat at the gate for a short time until boarding started at 1840.

We were on board and started taxiing slightly early at 1910 but it seemed to take a long time to actually take off.





The flight was smooth enough but felt long as both Rob and I didn’t get much sleep, breakfast was truly dreadful – a cold cheese and tomato croissant plus a soft cereal type bar?!

We landed at Gatwick pretty much on time and once again I had trouble with the e passport gate and had to go to a man who commented that my hair was different - it’s slightly longer and surely it’s facial recognition not hair?!

In pretty good timing Rob’s dad collected us at pickup literally minutes after we got through baggage claim and we were on our way home. It was grey and wet and we got stuck in traffic at Stonehenge 

After a short nap back at home we collected the dog from kennels
