The “We aren’t going to Florida again for a long time!” Trip Last day and long trip home!

Departure day and we had an alarm set at 0800, we had coffee with a muffin and then packed our bags. 

We had once again apparently bought some awkward shaped items but managed to fit it all in 🤣

We left just before 1100 and headed to Sana’a for lunch.

We had the bread service to start and having learnt from last time we got the potjie inspired dish to share along with some samosas.

Rob had the beef, I had the veggie option (I believe it was kidney beans) and we shared the rice.

This meant we could fit in a dessert so we got the candy bar (pistachio flavour) and the triple chocolate mousse which we shared.

Whilst there we discovered the incoming flight had not left LGW until 1913 UK time, which means we don’t leave until 0115.

As we now had loads of time we went to Disney Springs for a last few bits. 

We left just before 1500 to head towards Tampa to return car 

We arrived at rental car return at 1700, we weren’t sure if we could bring the car back much later and BA had only just sent emails telling us about the delay 🤷

We checked in and got given food vouchers and waited in the main terminal for about an hour.

We went across to terminal F as we weren’t sure when duty free would close.

We got grilled cheese sandwiches, muffins, 2 cokes and 2 waters with our vouchers which were only able to be used at a small amount of outlets. 

Surprisingly the sandwiches weren’t bad.

I also got a pumpkin spice latte at about 2040, the wait was as long as expected but we did find some sofas so that made it slightly more comfortable.

The incoming flight landed at 2323, and our crew arrived at 0015! 

Finally on board, the flight was smooth and we both got a reasonable amount of sleep. 

Neither of us had any of the food, we put our masks on and tried to sleep as much as we could!

We arrived at Gatwick just before 1400 having originally been scheduled for an 0835 arrival.

Passport control and bag claim was reasonably quick and we were leaving the long stay car park just after 1500.

We stopped at Amesbury to charge and get a quick McDonald’s (no photo sorry) and we walked in to our house at 1800. 

Here are my pins and my duck back at home 😁

This was my view the next morning
