So, after all the fun in July I really wanted to go to Davis Cup again.
Unfortunately, the September tie was a week before our trip to Florida and was in Braehead again so completely out of the question :(
So, as soon as the dates for February were announced I booked the travelodge and time off work so that I could go!
Got a bargain on the hotel as by booking each night separately it only cost me £67! I did wonder if they would make me check in every day but I figured it was worth it!
As is the pattern I was super busy at work in the days before the tie. We had auditors in and I had to do my accruals :(
Finally though, work done and I headed home at lunchtime. Rob had already dropped the dog off at kennels and tidied the house so we were soon on our way.
The weather was a bit rubbish but the journey went quite well...until we hit Manchester when there was hail and lots of horrible traffic :(
We got through it though and stopped for dinner at about 6 or 7. I was receiving regular updates via Twitter from Pat giving advance notice of traffic conditions!
Final stop was in Carlisle to get some diesel and then the final stretch into Braehead. We arrived at about 10pm which given we left home at about 1.30 and stopped twice was quite good.
Checked in at the travelodge - booked a family room this time so at least we got a sofa! All clean and tidy so no problems here
