InvictaMoto's Family Travels

Claire was asking what seats we had on the pane on the long leg of the journey from Dublin to Miami and the reverse leg. We have seats at the front of the economy cabin going. It means we won't have any dickhead reclining their seat under your chin. Like we had last time.  Personally seats should have a restriction on the amount they can be reclined. If you want to recline go business class. But. Coming back we have seats at the back. The "free" or standard seats. With Claire having a back problem,   I tried to change the reservation today. Online was hopeless. In the  end I called the airline and got the corresponding seats in the rear cabin for a supplement. Even with that added the fare is still £250 each less than Virgin or BA.

With two overnights planned for the Hotel des Sports in Chapelle en Vercors. I have planned a run out around the Vercors park for the main day we will be there. Fitting in so much into a short time means that there will inevitably be some things that get missed. I have called this day "Route des Gats", although it takes in quite a few different cols and scenic areas. As usual the planing is set to "no tolls".

Another email from Aer Lingus confirming our flights.  As they didn't say that anything had changed I had a quick look against the previous email to see and there's nothing changed. The re-timing of the Dublin to Miami flight in December might actually be a benefit as the US Immigration is done in Dublin and a bit longer might aid getting through there and maybe be a boon in Miami.  There are scare stories about Miami and the massive queues of foreigners trying to get in, whether with ESTA or Visa. On the car-hire front I cancelled the National booking and have a new one with Dollar at a lower rate for an "intermediate" car.  The example is a Nissan Sentra. I don't tend to look at Nissan at home or away and so have little idea what one looks like.  I Googled it and this is a  Sentra
