Arrived

Time to catch up on some blogging, having been here for a few days already!

Travel day went smoothly. We were at the airport in plenty of time, which was probably a good thing because the bag-drop line was fairly long. We decided that the Virgin computer systems were having an off day. However, we got through in reasonable time, and then collected a chair for Nan, mostly to make sure we would get assistance at the other end. It did mean that we didn't have time for a sit-down breakfast before our gate was called, so we grabbed provisions from Pret, and there was just enough time for Jake and I to select a couple of books from WHS before the trek to the gate.

Flight uneventful. Seats seemed spacious and food not bad - we thought that we were probably on one of Virgin's newer planes - an improvement on the palaver of going to Washington in June. Famous comedian and family in row behind us.

First impressions of Riviera are good, and pleased to be able to tick off another hotel on the DVC list. We even made it into Epcot for a brief visit on evening number one.
