BA!!!!!!




After a 2 hour delay because of "bad weather" at Manchester we missed our connection at Heathrow to Japan! All was not lost though as BA transferred us to the 2.35pm plane .


However this eventually took off at 4.00 pm resulting in us arriving at our Hotel in Tokyo
at 3.20 pm instead of 12.00pm. Who will we never fly with again and where will we never fly from again,answers to the Blog!


It takes a lot to dampen the spirits of a Your Koi party though and by 4.10 we were enjoying the sights of Asakusa and tucking in to a Yakiniku by 6.00 pm.


See pics of smiling party

We are on our way!

We are witing for our taxi to take us to Manchester Airport to meet Judy, Ronnie & Alan to start
our journey to Japan one week late but undaunted.
Watch this space!

This a picture of the garden at the Sensoji Temple in AsakusaTokyo.We should have posted pictures from Nikko but due to British Airways cancelling our flight we are still in sunny Manchester and not in Japan!!

They may be the Worlds Favourite Airline but they are not ours!!

After two frenzied days rearranging our Spring Trip will now commence March 22nd for two weeks.

Look out for the first blog on Sunday 23rd March from Tokyo.
