Here we go.. Phileas Fogg    Day 1 of 6

Goodness someone else up at ‘stupid o’clock ‘😁  . Bet they aren’t going on holiday 😊😊

All packed…

Gosh it was a bit nerve wracking getting through customs. The woman checking in the bags asked ‘whose bag is this?’ Jac replied ‘mine’!🤔.  But all done now despite having to stand like I’d wet my knickers, have my shoes dabbed for drugs (really) and the obligatory frisk. I think it’s all for the amusement of the staff who must be bored senseless 😂

6.30 am…. breakfast time 😁

Oh and this is Jac’ s thingy so that we can see how many steps we do each day. Jac has littler legs than me so she’ll walk more steps than me 😂

Back later…

9.20 am

Well the Americans know how to do it huh. That’s the funniest safety instruction I’ve ever sat through.  Like a comedy sketch but it certainly keeps you interested👍

Okay picture of food time🤔

Snack

Some waffle thingy  (with coffee)

Breakfast🤔 omelette with Turkey sausage🤔🤔

And elevenses 🤣

11:00 am

This is Greenland. So when I’ve been to China next year I will have been to all 7 continents 🤣😂🤔

3.20 pm UK time

1 hr 20 mins till landing

Watched two films. Forgettable and the clue is in the title 🤔. And the Return of Xander Cage. Now you’re talking😁. How did I miss the first one (assuming there was a first one, given the title 👍). Always nice to ogle the very lovely Vin Diesel even if the story is unbelievable and they should have all died at the first gun fight😂😂

Snack time

6:50 pm UK time. 1:50 pm local time

My friend would be proud of me. I asked for an upgrade and got a double double room instead of one queen bed😁

So we’ve been awake over 24 hours and we’ve walked this many steps so its time to sleep😣  Goodnight
