So after more than two years of trying, Cookie and I are in Atlanta ready for the golfing adventure of a lifetime.
Goodness me though it was still a nightmare!!
Firstly hurdle was the lateral flow test to be taken within a day of travel and needed to be observed. The lady operative was great but Zoom went down or froze during the test sending me into a panic! We got there in the end and my six day isolation justice as I was negative. It was the most stressful thing I had experienced since leaving work
So off to the airport where the first senior moment kicked in. It was 10:15 and the board showed the Atlanta flight gate had already closed. More panic until the Virgin girl pointed out I was going to New York and onward from their!!
Second senior moment as Cookie rang to say he had got to the airport and forgotten his tickets passport and vouchers and was now going back to meet his wife half way with said items. Would he make it back in time?
Next challenge was that my ticket would not let the check-in desk allocate me luggage. That got sorted as apparently we were booked on three NY to Atlanta flights later that day.
Cooke arrived in time and we settled into the flight. After two hours there was a medical emergency but luckily we were too far out to turn back but more pleasing was that the passenger did not need resuss.
We landed fine. She was taken off by medics and we gigot to homeland security. I get the red light so get whisked off to the naughty boys step for a 45 minute watch and wait. Still don't know why but given we had a 6 hour stop over it killed some time!!
So after that all the other delays were routine, and 20 hours later we got to the hotel. So let's see how the golf goes today!!
