Location, location, location

After a surprisingly quick check-in and passage through security the Gorse Fox was ushered to the plane and took his seat. He took stock of his surroundings. In front of him was a small screen with a map of of southern England and an icon representing the aeroplane. It was a little disconcerting to realise that this is fed from the flight deck, where they were plotting today's route to Orlando and the icon clearly stated that we were at Stanstead Airport. That came as news to GF who had driven to Gatwick!

The wonders of technology, eh?

Well the trip went without incident and the GF is now esconced in a very smart Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando, getting ready to grab a beer and something to eat.
