We made it.
Unfortunately, someone on the airplane said, as we were flying over, "Doesn't it look like Craggy Island from Father Ted", which has left me humming the theme tune ever since and saying "Drink, Grrls, Feck" at random intervals throughout the day.
(note to anyone who has never seen this show: you should)
The Isle Of Man airport is brand new and has been built in the art deco style. Unfortunately, the logo and the style puts one in mind of films set in Berlin during the late 1930s, if you get my meaning.
However, I was pleased to note that in amongst all this newness it still took half an hour for the luggage to make it from the plane to the terminal. And yes, the plane parked next to the terminal. You could see it. Along with the workers sitting around enjoying a cup of tea before unloading it.
Thats it for now. I have an appointment with beer and a webcam. There's money to be made!
