Day 8 - Thursday 6th July (UK time) - Flying to Glasgow

 

Day 8 – Thursday 6th July (UK time)

Flying to Glasgow

Weather: Still cloudy, but warm

At about 9:00 am we landed at Heathrow on the same date we left, as we were going East.

Ian’s connecting flight was pretty immediate so, after we passed through Arrivals, the family had to pretty well make their way straight to Departures. I was unable to get a Standby on the same flight as my luggage was tagged to the later flight. I had to kick my heels all day at Heathrow which was pretty dull and leave Ian to hire a car at Glasgow and then check in to Carbeth House.

Then at about 6:00 pm my flight was delayed by an hour. It was now going to leave at 10:23 instead of  9:30 pm, so I didn’t get to Glasgow till midnight. To my relief the Holiday Inn Hotel was right beside the airport so when I walked out of Glasgow Airport there was the hotel across the road.

Got checked in, had a shower and went to bed.
