Monday 16th March
Came back from Excalibur, dumped the race course and had a couple of hours at home before heading off and missing the 96 bus. So wandered down to the train station and got that into Cardiff. Also picked up another book. Mc D in Queen St and the Flixbus was early, so a comfortable wait.
Surprisingly tired and able to sleep on the bus. From Heathrow it was the A4 bus to the Travelodge and a garlic bread and cheese supper.
Tuesday 17th
An all you can eat breakfast at the Toby and then the A4 bus back to Heathrow. Plenty of time to read the book. Delta flight - seat 33F which was quite near the front but in the middle. Guy on the outside moved so we had a free seat between me and the rest of the row, Seattle saw me lose my water bottle. Phoned the hotel from Seattle before I discoverd the flight was running almost an hour late. (and they were offering $600 to switch flights). Turned out the shuttle was easier than I imagined and the driver was away before I could tip him,
Wednesday 18th
Down for breakfast at 07.15 - pretty good had sausages and scrambled egg + hot chocolate. Now need to do the UKTRA stuff.
