I kept looking for you but we were through really quick never had the bags appear so soon.

My kids thought it hysterical that someone recognised me 5500 miles away from home

I know. I had my son's Scout leader shouting my name as we came out of Fantasmic one year! What are the chances?

A good travel day. All those questions at check in could make for long lines.

I know...must have taken us 15 mins... Yet coming back with BA no questions and bag drop was 5 mins.

I get all the extra security but Connor in particular was quite worried if he'd answered wrong or wouldn't remember what he said.

One question he was asked was "How did you arrive at the airport" and his reply was dad drove us down last night.

I was asked the same question and said " Purple parking dropped us off".

Both answers are correct I guess?

Another question was where have you come from ? So is the answer Lincolnshire or the Premier Inn up the road?

Yay-you've started Brilliant start. I'd be a bit miffed too regarding the kids qustions Thanks for the warning! Love the pictures

[daytonababe]

Thank you :-) I'll get some more done over the next few days ... I had a brain wave of just using the pics of my iphone rather than trying to upload to photobucket.

Lovely travel day. My hubby works at BHX sometimes (he's in the police) and says stuff is always being stolen from the security area. It's ironic isn't it. I always make sure I go well before Aaron so we can watch the stuff at both ends.

Ooh I wish I know who was famous on your flight! You must have flown the day before we did to Florida because we watched the oscars on our arrival night.

[daytonababe]

We flew the 27th , I wish I knew who it was too, He looked as me as I walked past and I recognised him but don't know his name.

Normally I go first then the kids than my H so we can watch the stuff better.. I'm lucky really that Connor was old enough to get all the bags but bless him I could see the panic on his face. Once the scanner broke they should have stopped sending stuff through for a bit imo.

Great start, I thought it was going to be the Sheraton that we've booked (Anaheim)!

[daytonababe]

No but I like the Sheraton at Anaheim.

If it wasn't for the traffic we would base ourselves in Anaheim all the time but its horrendous it can easily take 90 mins to get over to Universal from there so it means such a early start.
The Sheraton was expensive for the night but worth it for the location.

Great travel day and good start to the trip...hotel looks lovely!
We're hoping to do Citywalk on our arrival night too
