Problems...

First problem has  been the airline seats.  As we wanted six seats near one another as I may need help with Bob during the flight (is that too much to ask?).  The first seats they gave us were on row 41 at the back of the plane.  As Bob cannot walk when is he is "off" I thought perhaps the plane is loaded from the back so he won't have far to go down the aisle,  Wrong -- the plane is loaded from the front.  We telephoned Delta who have now given us aisle 29 which is over the wing so probably halfway down the plane.  We were hoping for extra legroom for Bob but it looks like this won't happen.  A lot of the seats are reserved.  We were originally told that Delta had taken over our booking because of the wheelchair situation and we assumed that they were sorting out the seats for us.  Wrong again - we probably  should have gone on line to book the seats.  It would have been better if they had made this clear earlier. Anyway everyone we have spoken to at Delta has been very helpful so lets hope the flight goes OK.  Otherwise I will have to bankrupt myself to upgrade Bob and I on the way back.

A good website to check out the plane seats is seatguru.  It shows all the different planes seating plan and comments about each seat.

Suitcases have been bought, travel money ordered and only a few weeks to go.

Not long now...

Not long now...
Only a month to go now.  Suitacases bought to pack all the new clothes  (sadly not a smaller size as I had hoped) and holiday paid for. We panicked a bit when we heard that BAA were thinking of striking and that could mean the airports would close but then realised that Manchester was not one of the ones threatened.  Also we were devatated to find out that Barry Mannilow is not on while we are there  (just like Penn and Teller he is on holiday).How inconvenient.  He must not have heard that we are coming.  We will just have to make do with Cher!

We also want to see the Love show at The Mirage as we have heard such good reviews of it.
