Live TR: a Flyertalk Family Room in Lossiemouth
So, I've been told to start.
Well, where do I start?! Honestly, I have no idea why I am here. It's pretty, very pretty. Despite the rain. And we are already having fun flight talk and should have a fun 24 hours ahead of us but I can't remember how this came about.
Think it was at the LBA DO where Jamier45 suggested that a few of us come up here for a tour of the RAF jets. So that's where we are: Jamier45, young KARFA, Skye1 and obviously me.
So far so good. KARFA did Eastern LBA ABZ last night and Skye1 and I did LHR ABZ this morning after breakfast in the CCR.
The plan for the next 24 hours include Inverness, various tours and the RAF jets tomorrow.
In case you are wondering, this family room for four, has4 individually wrapped shampoos.
Pictures to follow if we can get this to work from up here......

Sorry about the weather! The RAF liked Kinloss/Lossie, because they actually have a very good weather factor for flying.
The RAF wanted to send me there, which I really didn't want ... as iWife had just been posted to Bracknell, which would mean some 2 years of virtual separation!!

Well I got them safely to lossie and chris1979 approved of the room.
We are currently on scotrail inbound Inverness. Time to let them experience Inverness on a Saturday afternoon on Scottish cup final day with Cali thistle in the final!
Mon the Cali!

"Approved" of the room - a "family room" can mean all sorts and though I've reluctantly joined the "camping crowd" (aka HBO crowd), I did have some nightmare imagines of what this family room could look like but we have 4 beds (and 4 shampoos of course).....

Pictures or it didn't happen 
Not sure what to think about this latest revelation of GGL's on tour....Just because the TP goal is < £ 1 / TP , doesn't mean you guys need to apply this philosophy to all other areas of your life you know!
Or is the Poundland in ABZ a sight to behold? @:-)
Have fun...would have enjoyed seeing the RAF fighters ^
