Travel Day - Virgin V-room

We arrived at the V-room at 7:05am and patiently awaited its opening. There was a queue and it was a bit busier than usual but we still managed to get our favourite seat by the window.

We both got a V-room breakfast which is the usual toast, bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, tomato and beans, it was very nice but with us both having excited tummy’s we didn’t get anything else, instead just kicked back and relaxed, I’d still recommend the V-room at Manchester Airport as its a great way to start the holiday.

Travel Day - Virgin Plane Food


Plane food was the usual standard stuff, Dan didn’t eat as he doesn’t like plane food.

To start off it was mini pretzel time

For lunch I got the Toulouse sausage and mash, which came with mash and broccoli - this was quite salty but had an ok flavour. The Gu pud was a little curdled.

A zoom ice lolly followed soon after

Afternoon tea was a cheese and tomato chutney sandwich, some strange honey crisps which tasted like sweet popcorn and a little chocolate treat.

Other than that the flight was pretty uneventful, and went pretty quick, we’ve just had dinner at NBC (I’ll update tomorrow) we’re now checked in and relaxing in preparation for our busy day tomorrow

Your plane food was exactly the same as ours. Those crisps were just downright weird. And I wish they would bring back the Fab lollies, I don't like those Twisters

Travel Day - NBC Grill - Citywalk

First of all thank you for the comments, I promise i’ll answer you all at some point. We’re having an amazing time.

Once we had checked into the hotel last night we caught the water taxi to Citywalk and went into Universal Studios for a couple of hours by about 7pm we were ready to head over to NBC, this is another favourite restaurant of ours. We were pretty tired when we went for our meal so purchased more for substinance rather than pleasure but the food was awesome as always. It was very quiet and we were seated straight away.

Here’s the menu

We both went for the brisket entree which was amazing as usual, the brisket looks a little dry on my photo but I assure you it was lovely, it comes with a delicious BBQ sauce, cornbread and fries, We also ordered a side of Mac n cheese.

I only managed about 1/2 if that. We only had soft drinks as were were tired.

Total came to $53 + tip, We’d give it a solid 7/10

Looking forward to following along, have to agree about the Thyme restaurant we were a little disappointed with the one at Gatwick.

Day 1 - Starbucks

We love Starbucks in the UK and always pop in for breakfast when we’re over here.

I ordered a Choc mint Frappe with a sausage and cheese classic

Dan went for a Gouda, ham and egg sandwich with a latte. Both were yummy and a great start to our day.
