If there is an extra ordinary travel disruption happening in the world, you can bet money that I will somehow be involved. So it was no surprise to me Thursday night when we were approaching landing that the pilot came on to say that Gatwick was closed and we had been diverted. Apparently, some one thought it would be a good idea to fly a drone over Gatwick's air space. Three days of disruptions and thousands of people waiting to get to their destination, total chaos. We were actually fairly lucky only being sent to Heathrow but still a pain in the ass. The fun didn't end there as Luis's ears were extremely bad from a free dive and we spent most of the night seeking medical attention. But Friday we did finally make it to Nicola, Paddy and Freda's. Freda is still the most fun loving happy child ever and it is great being here.
However, the ear pain did not stop and Luis spent most of the evening with Paddy in hospital. Now on heavy medication and trying to avoid a medical procedure they may have to do to pop one of his ears he is now back home.
Before the pain got bad and Luis went to hospital, Paddy made us an amazing meal. It is safe to say we have been just as spoilt here as we were in the Maldives. And we are very thankful to Paddy for taking Luis last night.
