The KLM flights (Manila-Amsterdam and Amsterdam-Manchester) were acceptable, with no undue delays and adequate food. Leah's husband Chris was on the flight to Amsterdam (although we didn't get a chance to meet), and I hope he would agree with me that KLM can be recommended. I stayed overnight at Travelodge and caught up on sleep before the 3 hour train journey home.
Maybe I was lucky, but I got no stomach upsets and avoided sunburn throughout the trip. No jetlag either. Staying well hydrated and avoiding alcohol helped.
On the flights I met two filipinas who live in the UK and had returned to the Philippines because of deaths in their families. Each had a bus trip of several hours to reach the airport, and each resumes work in a residential home later this week. Stopped me even thinking about being tired !
These are just my initial thoughts on return to the UK. It would be completely inappropriate to single out one event which made the trip memorable (but having Juliet from Aegis stroke my hair while singing on stage with her is hard to forget!)
