We are all really quite excited about our first Caribbean holiday, and the novel experience of flying l/h from LGW.
Will we enjoy it? We have no idea!

OK, the taxi at 0530 tomorrow morning is a bit of downer, as is the c. 20-hour day ahead of us before finally reaching the hotel. JER-LGW-MBJ followed by a 1h30 minibus drive is going to be tiresome. BUT ... we'll finally experience those amazing LGW crews we've read about so often. Hopefully.

There will be a TR at the end of it, of course ... although that will become an historic record, as BA are dumping the route in May. However, if we find we like the hotel, and being proper FT-ers, we have already discovered we can still earn TPs/Avios by grinding the following in 2013:
JER-LGW
Taxi
LHR-ORD
Overnight
ORD-MBJ [with AA]

No tactical updates while we're away ... the only electronics we're taking is our Kindles [and a charger!]. Sgt Braille will be making notes on papery-things.
