Travel

Traveler Ugh. Up at 3.30. No problem. Eloise even woke up without too much fuss.

Taxi at 4am. No problem, except the minor detail that it parks outside the wrong building.

Airport by 4.45. Checkin within five minutes. Breakfast. Coffee. Hang around.

6.30 (ish) Board plane. All going reasonable well. But people are tired.

10.30 (ish) Eloise burns out, falls asleep, much to our relief. She wouldn't sit still, she was running on fumes.

11.00 (ish) Eloise wakes up. Plane starts descent. Eloise decides she wants cuddles. This can't be done. Eloise gets upset. Eloise remains upset. Volubly upset. That is, upset with volume. Until we land... and beyond. Tempers fray and frazzle.

Customs no problem, Eloise cheers up soon after we get off plane. We get the train back, Paul picks us up from the station, soon home, ready for collapse. Weather cold, miserable.

But nice to be back...
