Dublin - London

Another 'sort of' red eye flight. I'm sitting here at Dublin airport awaiting the 0940 City Jet flight to London City Airport. 

We'll stay in London tonight to see two of our children now working there. J has arranged dinner at the Michelin Star Westbury - a well renowned chef Alyn Williams graces its kitchen - I'm told!!

Tomorrow we leave by train for Southhampton, where we board the Queen Mary en route to NYC. The trip will take 8 days. The trip could be done in 5 days but the ship travels at a slower pace to save fuel!! 

Unfortunately, the flight was delayed 11/2 hrs so we did not arrive at the hotel until 13.00 hrs. The Grand Royale,  Hyde Park, just a 3 minute walk from Queensway tube station. It is newly refurbished and a snip at £96. 

Last night we joined our two London based children for dinner at the Westbury. The meal was worthy of its Michelin star. We had the 'chef's surprise' menu together with matching wines. The meal was beautifully presented and tasted equally well. I won't tease you with photographs!
