The Blackcountry Man

Waiting at Manchester Airport......

We arrived last night at the hotel and spent a night just by the airport as our plane should have taken off at 10:15am but in fact it was delayed until 11:25 and eventually took off at 11:55am so we are late.
The flight was noisy as there  were loads of kids on it as you would expect being Easter, one little beggar kept kicking the back of my seat and was uncontrollable by his Dad. Eventually I had enough and told him to try to keep him from kicking the chair.

We landed 9 hours later at Orlando airport and that's where everything started to go down hill.
The car we had hired in the package was totally too small to take us and our bags, so we had to up grade to a bigger car which cost another $491 including tax, this was like a red rag to a bull where Mrs BM was concerned so I will be writing to Thomas Cook for an explanation of why they recommend cars too small?

The Sat nav in the For Explorer got lost taking us to the house and we made a detour of around 20 miles further than was expected, but hey ho, I did get used to the car by this time.

We couldn't get in as the locks were very stiff, and I thought we had the wrong keys at first but brute force always wins out in the end.

We then went to find Walmart for essential provisions, I soon found the beer isle and so we headed home again to bed and a rest.
